    EMBEDDING A MEDIA PLAYER Empty EMBEDDING A MEDIA PLAYER

    Post by Merlin333 June 8th 2008, 8:04 pm

    I have a problem.
    1. I'd like to embed a mediaplayer on one of my pages and allow the member to select the video to be played from a menu.
    2. I want to pass the location (as a variable?) of the video to be played from a nav type menu containing a list of video names and locations.
    3. One problem is the embed code moves the bottom of page information to what appears to be a column to it's right.

    In short, what I need is to set the player up to accept a variable passed to it from a menu,

    Thanks for any help,
