ok, im working on my crappy little website (dont laugh at me) and im using.....geocities, (im really really bad at this) and im trying to figure out how to get a quicktime movie to open into a new window and allow me to resize the window and play with all of its other attributes.
i am ultra n00b
well making a new window would be to use javascript. making the quicktime app popup in the...popup would mean that you would have to have it embeded in the popup website... yeah, its kinda confusing but if you know how to do javascript popups, you should understand what im saying.

yeah, i figured that i would have to embed it, but i dont know how to physically do this, im really bad at javascript, the best ive done so far is get pictures to open up in new windows and be able to resize them and stuff, can someone please tell me in a really basic way, how to embed quicktime into a new window?

Why quicktime? Not every browser or OS accepts that format. A common format is better, so the majority of browsers/computer setups can work with it.

or you could have options, pick either from quicktime or WMP (windows media player)
here is an example of a WMP embeded object:
<OBJECT ID="WMPlay" classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701"
standby="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components..."
type="application/x-oleobject" width="320" height="306">
<PARAM name="FileName" value="FILENAME">
<PARAM NAME="ShowStatusBar" VALUE="True">
<PARAM name="DisplaySize" value="0">
<PARAM name="cache" value="true">
<PARAM name="bgcolor" value="black">
<PARAM name="autoplay" value="true">
<PARAM name="loop" value="false">
<EMBED type="application/x-mplayer2 pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=windows&sbp=mediaplayer&ar=media&sba=plugin"
filename="FILENAME"
displaysize="2"
name="WMPlay"
CACHE=TRUE loop="true" bgcolor="black" AUTOPLAY=TRUE> </EMBED> </OBJECT>you put all of thise in a separate webpage
you use this to create the popup:[script language="javascript"]
[!--
function WMP()
{ window.open ("WMP-popup.htm","WMP","left=0,width=630,top=0,height=600,menubar=0,location=0,resizable=0,scrollbars=0,status=0,titlebar=0,toolbar=0");
}
// end script --]
[/script]
then lastly you make a link to the popup:[a href="javascript:WMP()"]

put a command in the web page to load the popup page with parameters that you set
I use a link that calls the javascript function openVideoWin();where filename is the name of the file
width is the width of the video
height is the height of the video
loop is set to 1 or 0 (loops or plays once)
show controller is 1 or 0 (shows controller or no controller shown)
autoplay is set to 1 or 0 (autoplays or user must click to play)paste the following code in before the <body>
<script language="javascript">
var newWindowfunction openVideoWin(filename, width, height, loop, controller, autoplay,)
{
//close an open window if open (delete these lines if you want multiple windows open, but give each window a new name using a random variable
if (newWindow && !newWindow.closed)
{
newWindow.close();
}
//make the text to write to the new window
//all variables not passed to the function must be assigned here
//if controller is to be shown add 16 for Quicktime, 32 for Windows Media Player to the height
var controller_height = 16 //may need to calc based upon browser, etc
if(controller == 1)
{
//add controller height
height = parseInt(height) + parseInt(controller_height);
}
text = "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN'>";
text += "<html>\n<head>\n<title>" + filename + "</title></head>\n<body align='left' leftmargin='0' topmargin='0' bgcolor='#000000'>\n";
text += "<OBJECT CLASSID='clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B'\n" ;
text += "WIDTH='" + width + "'\n";
text += "HEIGHT='" + height + "'\n";
text += "CODEBASE='http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cabversion=6,0,2,0'>\n";
text += "<PARAM NAME='controller' VALUE='" + controller + "'>\n";
text += "<PARAM NAME='type' VALUE='video/quicktime'>\n";
text += "<PARAM NAME='autoplay' VALUE='" + autoplay + "'>\n";
text += "<PARAM NAME='target' VALUE='myself'>\n";
text += "<PARAM NAME='SRC' VALUE='" + filename + "'>\n";
text += "<PARAM NAME='LOOP' VALUE='" + loop + "'>\n";
text += "<PARAM NAME='pluginspage' VALUE='http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/indext.html'>\n";
text += "<EMBED WIDTH='" + width + "'";
text += "HEIGHT='" + height + "'";
text += "CONTROLLER='" + controller + "'";
text += "TARGET='" + controller + "'";
text += "SRC='" + filename + "'";
text += "TYPE='video/quicktime'";
text += "AUTOPLAY='" + autoplay + "'";
text += "LOOP ='" + loop + "'";
text += "BGCOLOR='#000000'";
text += "CACHE='true'";
text += "KIOSKMODE='true'";
text += "PLAYEVERYFRAME='true'";
text += "PLUGINSPAGE='http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/indext.html'>";
text += "</EMBED>";
text += "</OBJECT>\n";
text += "\n</body>\n</html>\n";
//text is written so now open a new window, write the text and focus the window
newWindow=window.open('','VideoPlayer','width=' + width + ',height=' + pheight + ',resizable') ;
newWindow.document.write(text);
newWindow.focus();
newWindow.document.close();
}
</script>
