  • Spry Menu Bar hides behind embedded windows media player

    Hi guys. My Spry Menu Bar hides behind my embedded windows media player when I go over the menu with my mouse. Below is the code I used to embed my player. How can I make it transparent? Thank you!

    To the Params in your object tag, add this:
    To the attributes in your embed tag, add this:
    wmode="opaque"
    Note that z-index is totally irrelevant to Flash. also note that the Adobe Flash Player is wildly inconsistent from browser to
    browser and from OS to OS, which is one of the more valid reasons for Apple abandoning the technology's support on its touch
    devices.

  • Embedded Windows Media PLayer With Non-Standard File Extension

    I have embedded a windows media player in a asp.net web page, using the usual
    <object> and <embed> tags. The video is served by an ashx (http handler). When I try to play the video, I usually (but not always) get an error message telling me that the file extension (ashx) does not match the file format.
    This happens in IE (8, 9, 10, 11) and also in Firefox (latest) with the WMP plugin.
    I know that the tags (with classid, etc) are correct because the media player displays and allows me to click the 'play' button.
    The ashx returns the correct mime type (video/x-ms-wmv) and a valid file name (somevideo.wmv) in the response headers. I have tried content-disposition attachment and inline.
    I have tried urls using 'http://', 'https://', and '//' (which I prefer)
    If I put the url (including the .ashx) of the video file in the browser address bar directly, the video downloads and plays in the standalone media player.
    If I modify the object tag to use a direct path to the video file (/somewhere/somevideo.wmv), it works - but I can't use this as a solution.
    The same ashx serves up video and audio in various other formats with out any fuss - it just seems that the embedded windows media player doesn't like it.
    This has been working for several years - I think this is some new behavior, though I can't identify what has changed, other than browser updates.
    Any ideas on what could be causing this? Am I missing something simple?

    Hi,
    Tools>Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default"
    Advanced tab of Internet Options>uncheck "Do not save encrypted files to disk"

  • Horizontal Menu Bar works when index.html is appended to url, but not otherwise

    My spry horizontal menu bar works like I want when I put /index.html at the end of the url for my website, but when I just go to the website without typing that in the index page shows up fine, but some of the links in the menu don't work. How is that possible if the index page is what shows up when you put in the usual www.domain.com?

    You're fine; don't worry about how you sound!
    I did not get two different pages when I went for your ...tennis.com address vs. your ...tennis.com/index.html address. Were you looking at the pages locally (preview in a browser) or looking at them on your website?
    If your local site contains the files you want to have on the server, synchronize your files [entire local site] (on the files panel, the 'recycle' symbol) to see which files are different, remote from local. Then upload (being sure to include associated files).
    The basic reason for a Spry menu bar not working is if the javascript and the menubar css file are not accessible or not linked to the page. The other reason would be if Javascript is turned off (but you said it worked with one file...) or if the javascript code at the bottom of the page is somehow either not there or broken:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    var MenuBar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar1", {imgDown:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif", imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"});
    //-->
    </script>
    Well, I've been pretty long-winded about this. I hope you have been able to sort out the difficulty!

  • Advice on how to make Windows Media Player play DVD's not the Tosh player

    I do not want to use the pre-installed Toshiba Media Player to play DVD's, I want to use the installed Windows Media Player. I cannot change the default DVD player to WMP in Control Panel as the only options are either Toshiba's or Nero's player.
    WMP can play CD's, MP3's etc but cannot even read any DVD in the drive. Anyone got any advice on how to do change this?
    It;s a Toshiba Satellite Pro C850 with Windows 8 installed

    The free KLite Codec pack which equips the OS including Media Player for DVD decoding, thus all your currently and even most future installed players. http://codecguide.com/
    It comes in varying sizes but even the smallest version enables WMP for DVD's
    After installing KLite, you right click the DVD drive within Windows and select the "Open With" or "Play Disc" menu option and select Windows Media Player.
    You can also just use the Windows Run Box / Search box and enter
    dvdplay
    which activates windows Media Player DVD menus.
    Microsoft hasn't always included DVD playback in Windows and then started offered it as a fee based upgrade for XP and Vista, before finally including DVD playback in Windows 7 in what some Microsoft insiders said was an apology for Vista before removing it again in Windows 8.

  • Cannot install Windows Media Player 11 plugin. Not even manually

    Since I can't install the Windows Media Player 11 plugin through the plugins section, I tried installing it manually from the link http://port25.technet.com/pages/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download.aspx multiple times and it still will not show up in about:plugins. I followed instructions from Firefox and rebooted after the install and still won't show up. I am using Windows 7 64 bit and have the latest version of Firefox. cannot play videos embedded in websites that support windows media streaming.

  • Nav/Menu bar hidden behind images

    I placed my nav/menu widget in my master page. I have several layers in each page that I would like to arranged behind the nev/menu bar so I can still utilize it. Muse doesn't seem to let me push the images back behind the nav bar. Currently my photos are covering the nav bar so it can't be utilized. Help! Thank you.

    With the release of Muse 4.0 today, Master page elements can now layer in front of content on those pages to which the Master has been applied. To re-order Master page content select elements on the Master page, right-click and select "Move to Master Foreground" or "Move to Master Background" from the popup menu. Alternatively select elements on the Master page, then select Object > Move to Background or Foreground in the Muse application menu. All elements in the Master page set to "Move to Master Foreground" will appear on top of all elements in the Page.
    Please refer to Muse release notes for more information on this.

  • Windows media player on macbook pro not displaying colors correctly

    I'm running WMP on Windows on my macbookpro but the colors don't display properly on any video. Other types of video work fine but the windows media format seems to not function properly.
    Any ideas?

    BTW, for future questions, try posting in the QuickTime for Mac forum. You'll be normally more likely to get help there than you will here in the QuickTime for Windows forum.

  • Windows media player video settings will not respond !

    Hi to everyone !
    The video colour quality on w/media player lacks clarity .I have tried to adjust this from the video settings within
    the program facility. The slider adjusters always return to zero after I have attempted the adjustment.
    Alternately,I have tried to find how to reinstall the program from the recovery disc but have not been able to identify
    the program from within the recovery disc.

    Thanks for your response.
    Contrary to what you indicate,M/s was my first port of call
    and as a result they suggested I direct my query to manufacturers web page,ie:Toshiba !
    Regardless of the location that my query arrived at,I thought it reasonable
    to presume that W/media player was a widly used program and thus another
    user might have had a similar problem/experience.

  • Satellite L750D - Window Media Player has sound but no pictures

    I have a Toshiba Laptop Satellite L750D, Win 7 Home Permium. I don't know why Win Media player just has sound but no pictures. Please some one help fix this problem. I don't have a recovery dics. Where can I down load it? I would very much appeciate your help. Hien

    Your issue is likely, but not necessarily a corrupted or missing codec since you haven't actually confirmed whether your problem is with just one disc or all discs nor if they ever worked on this system before.
    Installing VLC is a good idea, but it's a considerate application and won't tamper or try to repair a busted codec and will more often avoids tampering or accidentally repairing any detected whether it's already working or likely broken like yours. That's one of the reasons VLc is so highly recommended such as they way it was repeatedly suggested to you.
    A question to ask if your problem is being caused by a few discs, are they custom burned or commercially pressed boutique films since most mainstream DVD's use the same MPEG-2 codec for video and audio and failed video but working audio is usually a clue about a split format disc that has simpler audio streams but obscure video formats that can result in an issue just like yours.
    In either case and if none of that is of interest, I can relate and suggest you keep any installed VLc's and download KLite because it is nothing but varying degrees of CODEC's including obscure ones and is fairly aggressive in detecting and seamlessly repairing corrupted codecs while offering more configuration options than most people want and more than many commercial video applications offer.
    Visit http://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm and choose the "Mega" or 64Bit package but 64bit systems can successfully backport the 32bit set if you feel its necessary to.
    You can also potentially skip the KLite process by diagnosing your codecs with Nirsofts InstalledCodec tool, a single file executable no install / no reboot but I don't get the impression you're prepared to really do much at that level and that's fine but it might be needless effort in your case.
    http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/installed_codec.html
    But something you definitely need to stop and wonder about is what happened to crush your codec since they don't normally suffer damage until some insidious piece of badware like your favorite iLivid and mine gets into your computer to raise holy hell forever. If that could possibly be what happened to you, the circumstances of how you managed to pick it up and anything else are things you can keep to yourself but consider it a spyware affliction and one I don't make lightly and is something I rarely suggest since it is the overused excuse at the Microsoft forums to blame everything on spyware instead of poorly written OS code.

  • I am having trouble with all websites that have the embedded Windows Media Player. If I go to a page with a Webcam that is using Windows Mwdia, the player does not play or even show up. Any ideas?

    With all my other browsers, thia is not an issue including Firefox 3.6. For example, this page http://www.liveduvalstreet.com/ will display fine in every browser except Firefox 4. Because of that issue, I reverrted back to 3.6 until I can find a fix. I have tested this page in Chrome, Maxthon 2 and 3, Internet explorer 8 and Firefox 3.6 with no issues at all. This is just an example site. All sites with the embedded player will not work.

    Thanks a million! Thatr did the trick. I had an older versiuon of the plug in installed as well.

  • Embeded Windows Media Player: visualisations not working in Firefox

    In IE my web page will play an mp3 with visualisations.
    In Firefox there are no visualisations, just a black screen. Can anyone tell me how to get the visualisations working in FF?

    Hello Martin.
    Although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
    You may need to install an appropriate plugin. Firefox should detect which plugin it needs and ask you if you want to install it. If it doesn't, please provide us the link of the page where this happens so we can tell you which plugin it is.
    If you are having problems using an already installed plugin (see plugins at Tools > Add-ons > Plugins), you need to contact its author for support.

  • Is there any way to disable the mouse-over function of the Spry Menu Bar (CS5)? Click-open preferred

    Hello,
    I'm using the standard CS5 Spry Menu Bar (Horizontal) in Dreamweaver. I have it set up exactly the way I want with CSS. However, I've very little experience with Javascript, consequently I'd like to ask anyone here for some help in modifying this aspect of the Spry Menu Bar. I'd like it to 'click-open' and not open when the mouse is over it. I've tried to change the delay variables in the code to something that has a longer duration in milliseconds; unfortunately, this tends to cause some bugs such as the menu re-opening once the mouse is no longer near it and other such bugs.
    The ideal solution for me would be to have it open when it's clicked on once. The reason I need this is because the menu appears over some buttons - there's no way around this for me, it's the layout I absolutely must have. Although the buttons don't overlap with the menu, they are very close and it is annoying when your hand slips a little and the menu pops up over it all.
    I'd appreciate any help at all, thank you.
    PS:- The Javascript containing the delay variables I tried to modify.
    Spry.Widget.MenuBar.prototype.init = function(element, opts)
        this.element = this.getElement(element);
        // represents the current (sub)menu we are operating on
        this.currMenu = null;
        this.showDelay = 250;
        this.hideDelay = 600;
        if(typeof document.getElementById == 'undefined' || (navigator.vendor == 'Apple Computer, Inc.' && typeof window.XMLHttpRequest == 'undefined') || (Spry.is.ie && typeof document.uniqueID == 'undefined'))
            // bail on older unsupported browsers
            return;
        // Fix IE6 CSS images flicker
        if (Spry.is.ie && Spry.is.version < 7){
            try {
                document.execCommand("BackgroundImageCache", false, true);
            } catch(err) {}

    Hello,
    Thank you so much for replying so quickly and moreover, solving my problem. I must apologise for not doing more research about this issue by searching these forums more thoroughly. I found a similar post here:-
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/139937#139937
    Your solution goes one step further and eliminates the need to search through the Javascript for the relevant code.
    Thank you again, you've helped me a great deal.

  • Spry Menu Bar and IE 7.0

    The spry menu bar use in
    http://www.riversway.org/index_new.html
    is not displaying the correct orientation. Any ideas why it is
    doing that.
    Also, I'm trying to understand the comments in the CSS file
    that the menu bar uses. Can anyone tell me where I can edit the
    width and height of the menu items individually and the width and
    height of the submenu items individually. If there is a better way
    than adding a style tag before each item that I need to style
    differently than its class designation, I'm all ears.
    Thanks,

    Hi
    I visited your web and the menubar looks ok in both IE7 and
    FF2. The menubar is horizontally and the submenus drop down
    (vertically). I can't understand your problem.
    To change the width items I set an id to the menu item that I
    want to be bigger, and then I assign the specific width to it on
    css.
    If you want to see an example, click
    here.
    It's only a test, but I think the menubar works. The css is
    commented (you will see that submenus on item 2 and item 3 have
    their own width). I don't know if this is what you are looking for.
    To change the height you can change paddings.
    About vertically/horizontally submenus, I saw that assigning
    width:auto to ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul cause that IE7 visualizes the
    submenu horitzontally instead of vertically in some scenarios. I
    think that assigning an specific width fixes that or don't assign
    any -in the above URL you can see how I have done.
    Good luck
