Can I change the embed tag in the Insert_Media.asp script?

Reply Quote

I am just full of questions now. :)

We have a specific way we use media on our site. Because we're running Windows 2003, we use Media 9 and the mms:// tag.

Can I have the insert_media script use our format instead of the <embed> tag that's default? I tried changing what I thought would be it but I got an "Expected ;" error at line 113 when I did it.

Here's where I THOUGHT that tag was used:

strmedia = "<embed name=\"MediaPlayer1\" src=\"" + medianame.value + "\" autostart=\"" + autostart + "\" showcontrols=\"" + showcontrols + "\" width=\"" + width + "\" height=\"" + height + "\" type=\"application/x-mplayer2\" pluginspage=\"http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer\" ></embed>\n";

I wanted to make it:

strmedia=" <a href=\"mms://www.nlgaming.com/nlgaming" + medianame.value + "\"><img src="/images/movie.jpg" border="0"></a>\n";

Is this possible, or is there a proper place to put this?

Michael Mullis,

why not using the downloadable files button which will help you create the proper link automatically?

Well, how would that work? I can't quite see how that would put an image on my page that would link to a media file.

Ok. So explain how this works then. I can't find any documentation on the downloadable files button.

Step 1. Insert an image into the editor.

Step 2. Select the image

and click the

button

Step 3. Pick the file you want to link or input the file URL in the URL field directly.

Ok. That's more steps than I wanted. For now what we are doing is a simple cut and paste into the editor, and when we paste the image the code comes with it.

But I'm going to keep working on the insert_image script and see if I can get this working.
