I'm working on a small site for a client, and am having difficulties with embedding the Quicktime movies. I can get them to show up and play, but I can't seem to get the controls to display. I've included "
" in the object tag, and "controller='true'" in the embed tag. From everything I've been able to find, that should display the controller. Alas, I have no joy.
I've got an online test up at:
http://www.kevinkratzke.com/testnew/reel/reel.html
To load the movie, click the link which says, appropriately, "Load Movie."
Be warned, the client is still working on figuring out appropriate compression settings (he's preparing all of the videos himself), and the current file is very, very large. It might sit on the QT logo for quite a bit before playing. I will be adding a loading animation eventually, but first things first. :)
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
Alternatively, I have been able to do some very basic control of the movie through javascript (I have a small example in the test file), so if I can't figure out why the controls won't show up, I was contemplating creating my own. The client wants the functionality of the scrubber, however, which will require a bit more javascript coding than I'm comfortable doing from scratch. Has anyone seen an example of anyone creating any of the more advanced controller functions using javascript/DOM events? My searches all led me to the same basic play/stop examples...
Thanks in advance!
