David I came accross this thread researching to add video to my website but I
did not want a link. I wanted it to play when the page opened. I found out
how to do it in publisher.
The following will embedd WMP into the website. THere are only three things
you have to do to get it to work,
1 - Change the URL value to where your file is stored either on the
webserver or local file, 2 - add the HTML code by copying the below code into
the HTML box and 3 - Adjust the box location in website preview to make sure
it is in the right location on the website.
<OBJECT id="VIDEO" width="320" height="240"
style="position:absolute; left:0;top:0;"
CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"
type="application/x-oleobject">
<PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="your file or url">
<PARAM NAME="SendPlayStateChangeEvents" VALUE="True">
<PARAM NAME="AutoStart" VALUE="True">
<PARAM name="uiMode" value="none">
<PARAM name="PlayCount" value="9999">
</OBJECT>
It took em about five tries to finally get it to work. My website is
www.weltekonline.com and I used publisher 2003 to create it.
