Subject: Re: hiding an embedded video once it stopped
Thanks to everyone who helped me (especialy Peter Rose who put me on the
right track). Since this question has been raised before and it's a cool
trick, here's a snippet of code that finally works for me (in a PC
environment).
The javascript goes:
function cacher()
{
if(document.layers)
if(document.video.document.embeds[0].GetPlayState()!=0)
setTimeout("cacher()", 1);
else
document.video.visibility="hidden";
else
if(cat.GetPlayState()!=0)
setTimeout("cacher()", 1);
else
video.style.visibility="hidden"
}
the body's onLoad event is set to "setTimeout('cacher()', 32200)" and it
refers to:
<DIV ID="video" STYLE="position: absolute; top: 0pt; align: right; width:
176px">
<EMBED ID="cat" SRC="cd.rpm" WIDTH=176 HEIGHT=144 CONTROLS=ImageWindow
CONSOLE=cd AUTOSTART=true>
<EMBED SRC="cd.rpm" WIDTH=176 HEIGHT=44 CONTROLS=InfoPanel CONSOLE=cd>
</DIV>
A few notes:
1- To my surprise, the video can play hidden, as I learned accidently
through my ordeal. That is, you hear the sound though the layer is hidden.
Of course, it's hard to see a point to that.
2- For reasons beyond me, the "align: right" style property of the layer
doesnt work under IE5. Also, if I give it a height, any height of any kind,
under any browser, the InfoPanel is displayed to the right of the
ImageWindow with what seems to be a baseline alignment.
