jwdawg77 -> JW FLV Media Player - Web Component (6/22/2008 8:19:03 PM)
Hello, I have a Web Componet Question. I have succesfully been using the JW FLV Media Player for quite some time. By inserting HTML into the Code section of a page and altering code and utilizing swfobject.js object and the flvplayer.swf in the same directory of the .flv file for playback. I have also been succesful in placing snippets of code into pages from YouTube, Vimeo, Flash Renders, etc ... When I have used the JW FLV player, I have always used it in the middle of the page. My question is ... I would like to use it (JW FLV) "Justified" to the right of the page i.e. 420 x 236 and have text wrap around this object: Do I Insert a <Web Component> such as a <Advanced Controls> <Java Applet> or <ActiveX Control> and then edit Parameters of the component? I tried to do this but was unsuccesful. I tried to create "Table within a Table" but then I could not get my text to wrap around the "Cell" table within the table. The FLV would play correctly within the cell but I could not get my text to wrap. Here is an example page of what I am trying to do ... JW FLV Player - Text Wrap? Here is my code for the JW FLV Player (Working) <p id="player1" align="center"><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"> <font size="2" face="Arial">Get the Flash Player</font></a></p> <p align="center"> <script type="text/javascript"> var s1 = new SWFObject("flvplayer.swf","single","385","236","6"); s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true"); s1.addVariable("file","marc.flv"); s1.addVariable("image","marcpreview.jpg"); s1.addVariable("width","385"); s1.addVariable("height","236"); s1.write("player1"); </script> Can somebody help me insert a Applet that I can succesfully configure to play the video in the code above ... that way I can get my text to wrap around the Applet. Or ... is there something I am missing? in creating a Table or Cell that would allow me to make a designated cell and wrap the text on the side and bottom. Basic HTML Code? - jw

The javascript delays the writing of the .swf file until the page loads. The name of the file in your example is "player1". Normally, you would write the movie into a <DIV> tag but you are writing it into a paragraph tag....I'm not sure why you would want to do it that way. This bit is where the movie actually "sits" on the page: <p id="player1" align="center></p> The "get flash player" link is "underneath" the movie if the movie loads correctly. To get the movie to sit to the left you could change the align="center" to align="left" but that wouldn't help with your text wrap. I would change your <P> tag to a <DIV>: <DIV id="player1"><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Get the Flash Player</a></DIV> Then use CSS to set the <DIV> with the parameters you want to get your text wrap, like: <style type="text/css"> <!-- #player1 { text-align:left; background-color:#FFFFFF; height:236px; width:385px; padding-bottom:10px; padding-left:0px; padding-right:10px; padding-top:10px; float:left; } --> </style> The actual code would sit inside a chunk of text: texttext text etc. <DIV id="player1"><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Get the Flash Player</a></DIV> more texttext text etc. And will wrap around the movie with a padding of 10 pixels on the top and bottom and right sides of the movie. The style goes in between the <head> and </head> tags or in a separate style sheet.
