Embedded QT loading behavior (brief question)

I've got several embedded QT players loading mp3 files on one page of my blog. Does anyone know how to prevent the file from loading until the viewer has hit the play button? The accumulation of loading files not good for most bandwidths. I DO want multiple players embedded on the same page, just dont want the files called until requested. Here's the embed I'm using:
<embed src= "http://www.myserver/myfile.mp3" autostart="false" loop="true" align="left" height="24" width="308" autohref="false"></embed>
thanks- the help is appreciated.

I think that if the controller is visible it is bound to download the audio. What you could do is present a single frame movie to invite the user to click to hear the audio. Here's an article on the general technique of having a poster, that when clicked on will load the real movie (or MP3 in your case):

BTW, in doing this you are making the user use QuickTIme, and some who use other plugins to play MP3, and don't have QuickTime installed, may not like it! There's probably a way to detect QuickTime, and to let the MP3 load as normal if the user doesn't have QuickTime.

  • Trouble figuring out pathname for embedded swf loading external swfs & xml

    I have a swf that loads content from an XML file. This works fine when everything is in the same directory, but I want this swf to appear in several different HTML pages, which are in several different directories and I don't want to have to put 8 different copies of my swf online just so that they load properly. The directory structure is like this:
    main_dir:
    mod_dirmod01_dirmodcontent_dirmyembeddedswf.html
    myflash_dirsub1
    sub2:
    myflash.swf
    myflash.fla (not uploaded to the server)
    xml_dir:myxml.xml
    I created "sub1" and "sub2" just so that my swf would be the same number of directories downwards as the html has to link upwards, so that when I test the source file, it works. For the HTML, it's embedded like this (using swfobject):
    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="800" height="500" id="../../../myflash_dir/sub1/sub2/myflash">
              <param name="movie" value="../../../myflash_dir/sub1/sub2/myflash.swf" />
                    <!--[if !IE]>-->
                    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="../../../myflash_dir/sub1/sub2/myflash.swf" width="800" height="500">
                    <!--<![endif]-->
                    <div>
                        <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>
                    </div>
                    <!--[if !IE]>-->
                    </object>
                    <!--<![endif]-->
                </object>
    And inside the Actionscript, I have a URL like this to load the XML:
    ../../../myflash_dir/sub1/sub2/xml_dir/myxml.xml
    Testing the .fla works. But the swf does not work in the HTML. myflash.swf loads, but the loading animation spins and spins, so presumably myxml.xml is not loading. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

    Durrr, this is not the first time I've answered my own question. Maybe something about trying to explain it to someone else lets my brain make the critical connection.
    Anyway, yes it was everything to do with the external SWFs being loaded. My main swf actually loads an xml containing URLs from which to load all of the other SWFs and so I had to update the URLs inside of that, and that fixed the problem.
    Sorry for wasting forum space, but maybe this will help someone else out!

  • Can I turn off auto tab loading, if no, question about uninstalling newest version of firefox

    I tend to wind up with far too many tabs open at one time to not bog firefox down. I came up with a very useful workaround - close and re-open firefox with it disconnected from the internet.
    Thru version 3.6.19 this works beautifully, because when it can't find the internet, it loads all of the tabs as "problem loading page." They load quickly but don't use much memory and don't bog Firefox down that way. Then I connect to internet, and work the the tabs at my leisure. That way I have many tabs of pages I'm interested in ready for me, but only a few actually open and using memory etc.
    When I upgraded to the newest Firefox version, I had a lot of tabs already open but I discovered my workaround trick no longer works. As soon as I reconnect the internet, all the 'problem loading' tabs automatically start loading the full/real pages.
    QUESTION 1: Is there a way I can turn this function off, at least for awhile until I can work thru the set of tabs I already had loaded when I upgraded?
    QUESTION 2: Is there a way I can easily/quickly break a single window with a bunch of tabs into multiple windows? I mean WITHOUT having to handle each tab one by one...
    QUESTION 3: Is there some way to get a window listing all tabs and windows where I can delete selected tabs, while I have that window open? The dropdown on the righthand side of the page doesn't work for this, because it shows them all as 'problem loading page' rather than showing the url (or maybe there is a way to change the display in the dropdown menu?)
    Since I discovered this problem, I re-installed Firefox 3.6.19 (leaving the new Firefox version on the computer too). I did NOT make a new profile because I wanted it to see the session manager set of tabs I had already, my preferences & passwords, etc.... I am running 3.6.19, but I suspect it is having some problems because of both versions being on the computer with the single profile however, as its crashing more often and using more memory & CPU... I also tried to save the window in session manager (which I had before I loaded the new firefox), but got an error message.
    QUESTION 4: Is this likely the problem, e.g., two firefox versions but no new profile? IF so, is there a way to duplicate the profile so each firefox version has it's own, but both are identical?
    QUESTION 5: If uninstall the new Firefox, will the 3.6.19 version still run properly, with my profile, settings, session manager saved sessions, etc. all still intact?
    Thanks in advance for your help, I really need it!!

  • Imac froze and on re load folder with question mark appeared.  Now will not start up to home screen.

    The other night my Imac froze during updates.  I found it in the morning with the screen and mouse frozen and only the loading icon spinning.  I re stared the computer from the power button.
    Upon re loading the apple logo did not appear and was replaced by a folder with a question mark in the middle.  I looked this up online and found the best option was to use disk utility to check and repair the hard drive.  This showed an error with HFS.  Used disk utility to fix the hard drive so thast no error appear.  I re stared the computer but all it loaded was the folder with the question mark again, so I decided to erase the hard drive of any information (I back up quite regulary, but left it as last resort due to inconvenience), when installing again it seems to go so far before telling me it cannot install and I need to re start.  I have erased the dsk again and completed disk clean too before trying again and getting the same results.
    I am currenlty stuck at this point and need help, which would be appreciated.
    My Imac is an early 2008 Aluminimum model and installtion disk is 10.3

    The folder with ? mark mean one of 2 things.
    1) The OS is so corrupted that the hardware can't find it as a valid way to boot the system.
    2) Your hard drive has failed.
    You can try booting from the Recovery HD partition, Commadn + r keys at startup if you are running Lion Mt Lion or Mavericks.
    Or boot the system from the original System reinstall DVD that came with your Mac or an upgrade OS X install DVd you may have purchased.
    With either use Disk Utility to see if the hard drive is seen and if it can be erased or repartitioned and then restore from a Time Macine baclup or reinstall OS X.

  • Sql loader control file question.

    I have a text file (t.txt) which contains a record types AAA and AAB to input fixed width data into a table (t) AAA_NO, AAA_TYPE, AAB_DESC.
    Control file (control_t) contents:
    load data infile '/path/t.txt'
    insert into table t
    when ((1:3) = 'AAA' )
    AAA_NO position (4:14) CHAR,
    AAA_TYPE postion (15:27) CHAR
    Works prefectly, but I need to add another set of data from the same t.txt file with record type AAB. I attempted to add this into the same control file:
    into table t
    when (1:3) = 'AAB'
    AAB_DESC position (28:128) CHAR
    It fails naturally. How would I include the addtional record type data into the same table after AAA_NO and AAA_TYPE have already been inserted? Do I need to include the AAA_NO in the second insert (AAB_DESC)? Should I create another temp table to store only the AAA_NO and AAB_DESC and then insert that data into table t after the loader is done? Or can this be completed in the same control file?

    Thanks again for the assistance, this is a tough one to fix. I am new to sqlloader.
    The temp table creation is causing some serious errors, so I am back to trying to fix sqlloader to get the job done. the apt.txt file contains records that each row of a new record starts with either 'APT' or 'ATT'. Here is the details of what I am trying to do.
    crtl file:
    load data
    infile '/path/apt.txt
    insert
    into table t_hld
    when ((1:3) = 'APT')
    apt_no position (4:14) CHAR,
    apt_type position (15:27) CHAR,
    apt_id position (28:31) CHAR
    The next section is the problem where I am inserting apt_sked into the same table t_hld as above because it has a different record qualifier its ATT and not APT.
    insert
    into table t_hld
    when (1:3) = 'ATT'
    apt_no position (4:14) CHAR,
    apt_sked position (16:126) CHAR
    The positions of the data using fixed is working, I can insert the apt_sked data into another temp table instead of t_hld and it works. It's just when I attempt to place the ATT apt_sked data into the t_hld table after the APT data has been loaded into the t_hld table....I tried APPEND instead of INSERT, but that does not work.
    The APT_NO's of the data are all the same- it is the qualifier for the records (Primary Key attribute- however I do not have it established since it is a temp table concept).
    I am stuck trying to get the data in the t_hld table, everything works when I do not try to put the ATT apt_sked data into t_hld- everything is valid. And placing the ATT apt_sked data into a different temp table works perfectly- but I can't find a way to create an update to t_hld from this temp table without errors. So I am trying to go back to sqlloader to get this done- any thoughts or questions?
    Thanks a billion!

  • Load Balancing - SMLG Question

    I have a question about the load distribution when using logon groups.
    I have created a logon group in SMLG and it is working to distribute users to different servers.
    It appears that distributes the load based off of a “quality” rating.
    What factors make up the quality rating?  Or what if not the quality rating, what is used to measure load on the servers?

    Hi Drew,
    The quality field display a numeric value from the results of a RFC query

  • Can't play embedded videos.  Shows large question mark where the video is.

    Need some help. I'm not able to play any embedded videos and all I get is the big Q with a question mark over it. I've tried reinstalling and checked the permissions in the registry. The problem that I found is that in the QuickTime preferences, on the File Type menu, there is absolutely nothing in there, just a blank white space. Any suggestions?
    Much appreciated.
    Scott

    Had the same problem; quicktime plugin would only work for administrative users not normal "limited" user. I temporarily promoted the user to administrator and the plugin worked fine. When I restored the user back to limited it still worked. I only had this problem on one computer so I don't really know the root cause. For reference, the computer was running Windows XP Pro, SP3, on a Windows Active Directory domain, using free Quicktime version 7.6.2.

  • Portal Landscape - With 2 CSM (load balance) related question

    Hi,
      We are currently having a portal landscape (Dev, QA -2 app servers, PRD - 4 app servers). The load balancing happens on Production Portal using CSM (load balancer) and it does SSL offloading for security encryption and it lands onto one of the application servers. When we try to login to portal it authenticates using the LDAP (OID). And we have some links which takes to backend R/3, BW etc (we use SAP load balance using SMLG logon group)
    Now due to another special project the following is what we are planning:
    1. Adding couple of more application servers for production portal or having seperate second portal landscape itself
    2. Adding couple of more application servers for R/3 production server (load balance can be done with special logon group for that)
    Questions are:
    1. When we land into current production portal page and click a iview link for the special project it should go only to those special portal app servers (planning to do through another CSM) and from their to backend R/3. In this scenario how the authentication (or sso ticket) happens when it goes from CSM to another CSM, will it ask for login again or any issue will happen with SSO ticket ?
    2. If we decide to go for second portal landscape and in the same scenario when login to current prod portal page and click a iview link for the special project it should go to that another production portal,in that case what will happen to the login authentication happened through the first portal and SSO ticket ?
    3. Suppose if we go to the second production portal directly through a website and if the user tries to login using the same id to first portal how portal will deal in terms of security (SSO) and also how backend R/3 will behave when same id comes as part of SSO.
    Or if anyone thinks of any other issue apart from SSO or encryption related things which i need to be aware of, kindly let me know.
    Thanks,
    Murali.

    I am not sure what CSM is, but I would expect it only does ssl offloading and a sort of "reverse proxy" against the cluster.
    >1. When we land into current production portal page and click a iview link for the special project it should go only to those special portal app servers (planning to do through another CSM) and from their to backend R/3. In this >scenario how the authentication (or sso ticket) happens when it goes from CSM to another CSM, will it ask for login again or any issue will happen with SSO ticket ?
    This depends on the host name you use for the two CSM clusters. If they have the same subdomain, there should be no problem as the SAP Logon Ticket (MYSAPSSO2) cookie is issued to the sub domain of the portal.
    If they do not have the same subdomain, the second CSM cluster will receive the request without the MYSAPSSO2 cookie, and will therefore trigger reauthentication.
    >2. If we decide to go for second portal landscape and in the same scenario when login to current prod portal page and click a iview link for the special project it should go to that another production portal,in that case what will >happen to the login authentication happened through the first portal and SSO ticket ?
    It will fail, as the MYSAPSSO2 cookie from the first portal is not recognized in the second. However, you can easily setup so that the second portal trusts the first and does a logon based on its credentials
    >3. Suppose if we go to the second production portal directly through a website and if the user tries to login using the same id to first portal how portal will deal in terms of security (SSO) and also how backend R/3 will behave >when same id comes as part of SSO.
    I assume both portal will be setup against the same LDAP/UME source. Therefore it will allow the logon. The backend systems should trust both the first and second portal (STRUSTSSO2 transaction)
    I think your architecture choice comes down to if the new project has special considerations with regards to versioning of portal. If it does, it would be sensible to separate it into a separate portal (and you can always integrate them with the first portal through portal federation if you have a relatively new version).

  • Batch Loader and Folders_g Question

    I would like to use Batch Loader to load a large number of images into WCC. I am also using Folders_g in my implementation, and would like to instruct batch loader during asset loading run-time which folder in /Contribution Folders/ to place the asset. Does anyone know what the batch load file key / value pair is to make this happen?
    Would I use something like this: (using dCollectionPath)
    Action = insert
    dDocTitle=Test Image
    dDocAuthor=sysadmin
    dSecurityGroup=Public
    dDocType=Document
    dInDate=10/25/10 9:58 AM
    primaryFile=C:/Files/Test Image.doc
    dCollectionPath=/Contribution Folders/images
    <<EOD>>
    Thank you,
    Randy

    Good Morning,
    Thank you Anand and Srinath for helpful answers. Yes, the xCollectionID does work and I have it loading into the correct folder using that approach. However, I have several folders under the root /Contribution Folders hierarchy, and determining the xCollectionID of each or these subfolders prior to Batch Loader runtime and mapping the IDs to each of the nodes in the Batch Load File will be tedious. Furthermore, I will be building the Batch Load File on at least four different environments i.e. DEV, TEST, STAGING, and PRODUCTION, and determining xCollectionIDs for several folders across these environments will add even more complexity. I can do it, but was hoping for an easier path.
    I am open to any more suggestions / ideas following your digestion of the previous information.
    Let me throw one other question out there. Let's say I am able to load all my assets into the several folders in my folders_g hierarchy in my DEV environment using the mapping of xCollectionID. Am I able to migrate that folder structure with loaded assets downstream into TEST, STAGING, and PRODUCTION using some out of the box UCM utility? Does something like that exist?
    Thank you,
    Randy
