EMBEDDING AUDIO IN A WEB PAGE

I have placed a mp3 file in a flash document and exported it
to a .swf file and inserted it in a web page and it does not play
the music on the web site

Did you set it to AutoStart?

Code for Embedding Quicktime Movies in Web Pages-Question

I have been embedding QT movies in web pages for years. I used to use the embed and object tags, but due to the problems with the default settings of IE7, in regards to ActiveX, I recently changed to the javascript method.
I will paste sample code below, of how I use it, with the movie title change to sample: (of course I change the dimensions, depending on the movie size.)
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
and I put at the top of the page, right before </head>
<script src="AC_QuickTime.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
I forgot where I got this code. Perhaps from someone on this forum, or elsewhere. It seems to work with the default settings on most browsers.
I have a couple questions, however, regarding fine-tuning it a little more.
1) If it takes a while for the movie to load, users who open my pages see a static Q QT icon. How would one make the icon flash, with flashing text that says "Loading", so that the user knows that the video is loading? (I have seen that on other sites, and don't know how to do that.)
2)As said the javascript works with most browser default settings, as most have javascript enabled by default. But what if a user does not have javascript enabled? Could the code sense that, and if non-existent, tell the user to enable javascript? Or, if javascript is disabled, could the embed and/or object tags be activated?
3) The code above, that I got from someone, says "cache=false". That means that each time someone sees the movie, it has to be reloaded from the net, and not from the browser cache, correct? If so, why would one want it to be set that way? If it's a large movie, a user with a slower computer and/or internet connection would certainly prefer if it could play from the cache the next time, loading much faster. Is there any reason to prefer "cache=false"?
4)Is there any code that could be put in, to allow the user, if they prefer, to download the file,(perhaps with a right-click or CTRL-Click), instead of playing it in the browser?
Thank you very much in advance, to whomever can help with these code questions.

Thank you for your reply, Kirk,
1)Yes, I do have "fast start" enabled in my files, and they were made with QT Pro, newest version. So no, there is no "trouble with my files".
However, I would still like to have that flashing "Loading" icon when the file is loading, as I see on other sites. (And yes, even with "Fast Start" enabled, depending on the size of the file, the speed of the computer and internet connection, it can take a little time beforeit starts.) Anyone know how to create that flashing "Loading" icon, rather than just the static Q?
2)I just wondered if there was a way for the javascript to recognize if the user does not have javascript, and bring up a message if that is the case, telling the user they need to enable it to see the content. (As would happen if the user does not have the QT plugin installed.) Yes, I realize it would not work to include in the normal way the embed and object tags as well, I wondered if there was a way to invoke them only if the user doesn't have javascript. Perhaps impossible, but I thought I'd ask, in case someone knows of a way to do that.
4)Yes, I guess I could just put a separate direct text link to the movie file for downloading. I just wondered if there was a way to put that in the javascript, so that if someone right-clicks on the QT icon, they can download rather than view it, rather than use a separate link. That may also be impossible, but I thought I'd ask, and see if there is a way to do that.
Your question to me regarding dimensions--I forget which was the QT movie, that I took that sample from. Yes, I have some in unusual sizes. They are not normal movies. I don't have time to explain more now though, and that has no bearing on the questions I asked.
Once again, thanks for replying, and if you or someone else could help further with my questions, I would appreciate it very much.
Have a nice day!

Embedding iCal calendars in web pages?

Is it possible to embedded your iCal calendars in web pages (either a .mac page or a privately owned page)?
Katie

You can publish calendars live to both .mac and webdav enabled private servers.
It becomes difficult to place other content on the same page.

Embedding .swf file into web pages

What's the best way of embedding a flash file into web pages?
After Microsoft introduce something about the active object (need
to click on the Flash file first on IE to activate it) it seems
like the best way is to use 'FlashObject'. Is there any other
better way? Thanks a lot.

SWFObject, which
used to be FlashObject.

Embedded or in-line web page in mail! Almost there but not quite.

I have successfuly made a small web page in GoLive ( one small images, an animation GIF and a short block of text to act as an extended signature) then rendered/ viewed the page in Safari and everything looks OK at this stage. Then from file menu gone to 'Mail contents of this page' which of course opens the Mail.app and I can then see the images and text embedded into the mail and not as an attachment.
Sending to myself it works fine so that when I receive it the images appear as part of the message but send out to others and they just see ? marks in blue boxes.
What have I missed. Is there something I need to put into the header?

Which options do you see enabled and which greyed out in the bottom part of the View > Message menu? If Best Alternative or Next Alternative are enabled, does choosing them fix the problem?
There is a hidden setting that makes Plain Text the preferred alternative for viewing messages. Maybe something has caused that setting to be turned ON, in which case you might be able to fix the problem by turning it OFF.
Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>:
defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool FALSE
Alternatively, you could issue the following command to revert to the default setting (which should accomplish the same, since the default is to not prefer Plain Text):
defaults delete com.apple.mail PreferPlainText

Help adding audio to a web page...

Hi, im about to start designing a web page that will have 4 audio files on it that can be played once clicked on.
I was hoping for something very simple looking (like the amazon audio preview players - track title, play & stop button).
I have never done this before so would appreciate any help you guys could offer.
Cheers!
Benn

I use Pickle Player. It supports many custom player skins (control styles), playlists & posterframes. Best of all, it works in all devices with just one file type -- MP3 audio or M4V video.

Embedding cam feed in web page

There have been a number of postings on this topic but here is a new thread.
Users (me included) have noted that it is possible to embed a feed as shown here:
http://fentyler.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/mike-cam.htm
This technique does however require Windows Media Player and many users have also noted that the feed may stop after an arbitrary period.
Here is a much better technique:
http://fentyler.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/cam.htm
I have deliberately kept the code to a minimum to allow users to copy and paste to their own pages.
NOTE It is very important that you copy NetCamPlayerWeb11gv2.cab to the same folder that holds your web page. To obtain this file do the following.
Download the page above and accept the active content (you won't be able to if your security settings are set to 'High') The .cab file can then be found in your Temporary Internet Files folder.
Do not use a URL in the Codebase statement !! It may work on your machine but others will find it impossible to download the active content.

In response to an email enquiry.
If you have already downloaded the control and flushed your temporary internet files then the cab file won't be available.
In IE go to Tools - Manage Add-ons and remove the NetCamPlayerWeb11gv2 control.
Go to c:\windows\system32 and delete NetCamPlayerWeb11gv2.ocx
Reload http://www.fentyler.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/cam.htm and accept the Cisco-Linksys control when prompted.
The cab file should now be available in the Temporary Internet Files folder

Embedding QuickTime Video om Web Page

Hello,
Thank you in advance for any help someone can provide. I am trying to embed a quick time movie on a web page. I have received the reference file from the company that will host the quick time movie and I successfully can embed the movie. How do I embed the movie with a frame of the movie with the controller to display when a visitor initially visits my page? Do I need to have the reference file recreated?

http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/javascript/excerpt/learnwebdesign_chap22/index.html
scoot down the page and you will see
Use the autoplay parameter and attribute to set whether the
movie starts
playing automatically when the page loads (true) or if the
user needs to hit
the Play button to start the movie (false).
regards
kenny

How to create a jquery as a table instead of a web page so that it can be embedded into an existing web page

I am new to Dreamweaver and I just built a jquery with 3 tabs of information I want to put into my existing web page. It has saved it as an entire webpage, but it needs to be a table that I can insert into my existing web page. It's 3 tabs that have product information under each tab for my customers to view. How do I do this?

Let's start at the very beginning.
#1 Have you defined a Local Site in DW yet? Without this critical step, DW can't manage links & assets for you.

Once your site is defined -- including the remote server log-in credentials, you can upload files or folders of files by simply clicking the UP arrow which PUTS files to remote server. See screenshot. Conversely, the DOWN arrow GETS files from the remote server and saves them to your Local hard drive.

Possible to play a single embedded audio clip over multiple pages?

hi
i'm wondering if it's possible to have a single audio clip play over more than one page in an interactive pdf generated in indesign cs5.5? in the media preview it seems to work but when i export to pdf the audio stops playing when i move to the next page, even when the "stop on page flip" is NOT checked in the media object options box.
what i want is the oppositite of an object with multiple states; looking for a single media object with multiple pages. thoughts? i'm publishing song lyrics, need to have the audio playing through the whole text of the piece when it runs to the next page.
thanks

In the other forum I stated:
It can be done by choosing the right option but it has been my experience that the continuous playback only works in Adobe Acrobat and not in any version of Adobe Reader across different devices including computers.
Your best bet would be to publish an interactive Flash file and if you need that to be on an iOS device get someone with an iOS developer license to convert the published Flash file into an iOS app. You might even be able to convert the Flash file into an epub like a digital magazine but I am inexperienced with this aspect of InDesign. There are good tutorials that I've seen briefly on creating epub digital magazines from InDesign though so do some research on it and report back.
Have you explored any of this thus far? I hope you get some good results.

Embedding video in a web page

One of my looming projects is to redo part of my own little
DVD site, particularly the page with the demos :

ie by embedding the video, so you can just click play etc as
on you tube etc, ie something more like this example :

It's probably pretty painless, but not sure where to start -
plus there are probably countless different options, so if anyone
could point me in the direction of putting up something like the
example above, that would be great.

is using Flash, I had a google, and found stuff like this :

Embeding audio player in jsp page.

Hello All,
I have embed the quickTime player in a jsp page. Following is my code snippet of the object embedding.
When I run the project my programme download and save the amr file from my database in the specified project location("../image/"+recordId +".amr"), but not run the amr file. Only logo of the player is displayed. Next Time when i run the project again, the amr file run smoothly. Probabely the problem is, when the programme run first time it could not find the required amr file location.
My requirement is, after click a button, it will download the amr file in specific location and then read the file from that path. The file download successfully before embedding the object, but do not run the file.
Also, the programme could not run the amr file from other than the project location. I am new in developing the jsp page, where amr file have to be play directly from the page. How can i solve the problem?
any idea, please help.
Code snippet:
<% String recordId = request.getParameter("pId");
String path=null;
path="../image/"+recordId +".amr";
%>
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" width="50" height="50" standby="Data is loading..." codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">

This makes no sense, you're only duplicating the bytes and adding unnecessary overhead. Either keep it entirely in the DB, or just keep it at the disk file system and have the file attributes only in DB.

Embedding WebI and Crystal reports on a web page

Hi,
I'm new to BO, so please bear with me. I've also posted this to the .NET-side, so sorry if you've seen this post before.
We have a project where we will need to embed WebI and Crystal reports on a web page, i.e. we want the people who access the web page to get the reports (mainly graphs) as embedded content on the web page without any controls and other clutter.
Is this possible and what's the correct way of doing this?
Thanks,
Carl

Hi,
Thanks for the help!
We still face the original problem, though. I.e. with openDocoument we get the report, controls, tab selections, scroll bars etc. What we actually would like is to get just the contents of a report.
Is there any way of doing it? We're not afraid of coding, we have good developers. Or do we need to schedule report creation to some format (e.g. PDF) and then load the PDF to the web page?
Basicaly it's more important to get this working for WebI reports as we can redo almost all reports from Crystal to WebI. Of course we are happy to find a resolution for both cases.
Br,
Carl-Gustaf

Web Page Sound File Question

I built a web page years ago with an embedded sound file (.au) which would play when a photo was clicked. The sound would play while the page remained visible. Now when I launch the sound, QuickTime opens a new window with a player interface.
What has changed?
I'm using Netscape 7.2, but the same thing happens in Safari.
Internet Explorer still works the way it used to with a small QuickTime player bar appearing apart from the Browser.
Here's the link: http://www.margnat.com/chevette.html
Just click on the picture of the car.

Your problem is that you merely provided a link to the audio file; you didn't embed it in the page at all. The problem is that different browsers on different platforms with different audio players installed handle sound files in different ways. Some browsers will play the sound in the background, some will open a new page and play in a browser plug-in...as a page designer you really have no idea what is going to happen.
For that reason, when I have opted to embed audio in a web page, I usually put the audio file into a QuickTime wrapper so that I can use the QuickTime player plug-in. Here are two pages where I've supplied embedded audio--
http://capital2.capital.edu/admin-staff/dalthoff/adventures/tr2004/caml01.html
...and...
http://capital2.capital.edu/admin-staff/dalthoff/adventures/tr2006/ussfoma01.htm l
Either way, there is a QuickTime play button embedded on the page. It isn't the most efficient way to deliver audio, nor is it the most platform-agnostic, as it insures that QuickTime will play the clip regardless of the user's preference. But it has the advantage of being consistent: it will ALWAYS play in QuickTime on any browser that supports it.

Printing forms imbedded in web page

Hi All,
This is my first post, and I need some help.
HP Officejet 8615
Several doctors and dentists have embedded forms on their web page for new patients to complete. I can't get these forms to print.
I have tried printing the form from the web page = unsuccessful.
I have tried saving the form to my desktop and printing it = unsuccessful
I have run the HP diagnostics and successfully printed a test page.
My computer:
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with SP1
3.00 gigahertz Intel Pentium G3220 Processor
6 GB RAM
Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard, updated
All MS Security updates installed. Kaspersky Anti- Virus installed. Updated, returns clean scans.
Malwarebytes Pro up dated and returns clean scans.
I have no problems with my computer or printer, except I can’t get these embedded forms to print.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
Ideas and thoughts on the subject...
You mentioned the word "Acrobat" -- this makes me think you are dealing with a PDF form??
PDF format can be tricky. Forms that look OK may or may not actually be something the printer can translate into printer language and spit out as actual print on a page.
You could try printing the PDF file as in Image -- this is a tried and true method of printing out PDF files that may be stubborn and won't otherwise print. See below...
Things that are PDF:
PDF file will not print
Quick fix | Print PDF as image | Acrobat, Reader
PDF file will not print (2)
Check your PDF viewer in your browser > Options
Example
Firefox > Tools > Options > Applications >
Portable Document Format (PDF) >> select Use Adobe Reader
Adobe Reader Download
===================================================
If you get desperate, and you can SEE the form you need on the screen, you can use Snip to grab a screen shot of the form, save the file as an Image, and print that.
Snipping Tool - Windows 7
Snipping Tool- Windows 8.x
Apple-Talk
How to Print Screen on a Mac, 6 different ways to capture screenshot on a Mac
===================================================
If you can get the saved form, whatever the format, into a Word file and then perhaps save that Word file into a new PDF file -- and maybe use Word's embedded font feature -- then you might be able get the file to print.
