Embedding a Quicktime Movie in a Word created web page

[fizzgig]

Version: 2004 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Processor: Intel Hi folks,

I've created a document for a simple website with mainly text and a few images and saved it as an html file. I now want to add a small Quicktime movie to the page before I upload it to my site. Word lets me drag and drop the Quicktime movie onto the document and I can resize, position it, etc. but when I view the finished document in a browser the movie only appears as a still image with no controller. How can I export the finished document with the movie so that it is playable once I upload it to my site?

Any advice much appreciated!

You have to upload the move to your site then insert object tag code
into your page.

<object
type="application/x-.mov" data="http://yourwebsite.com/www.youmovie.mov"
width="150" height="40" AUTOSTART="FALSE">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.yourwebsite.com/yourmovie.mov" />
</object>

the width settings are for audio consoles so you can either leave out or
set height and width width as needed.

Also if you go to w3c to check for errors you'll will find that the
autotstart part will cause an error. but unless you want you movie to
start as soon as its loaded your noted. you'll need it.

Also data, or value, could be written simple as "yourmovie.mov".
