Embed Windows Media PlayerThis is a featured page

Embedding Windows Media Player content in your story greatly enhances the web experience for your viewer. The options are endless when working with multimedia by embedding audio and/or video.
  1. Log in to your site.
  2. Upload your Windows Media Player file as a gem.
  3. Allow 3 new tags under "Prefs" and "Legal Tags".
    • Put a check next to 'embed'
    • 'param'
    • 'object'
    • Submit your changes
  4. Insert the following HTML code in your story. (If you are using the WYSIWYG editor in Internet Explorer or Netscape, make sure you click the option to view HTML source FIRST! Then check it back to the normal view before you submit your changes.) You will want to replace the width and height in both the object and embed tags (indicated in purple below) to match your movie's dimensions. Also change the value of the "Filename" to reflect the URL of your uploaded gem (indicated in red below). You will want to put the same URL in the "src" section of the embed tag (indicated in green below).
    <object width="320" height="290"
    classid="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95"
    id="mediaplayer1">
    <param name="Filename" value="http://teachers.esu10.k12.ne.us:8000/gems/manilaSupport/WindowsMediaSample.wmv">
    <param name="AutoStart" value="True">
    <param name="ShowControls" value="True">
    <param name="ShowStatusBar" value="False">
    <param name="ShowDisplay" value="False">
    <param name="AutoRewind" value="True"> <embed
    type="application/x-mplayer2"
    pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Downloads/Contents/MediaPlayer/"
    width="320" height="290" src="http://teachers.esu10.k12.ne.us:8000/gems/manilaSupport/WindowsMediaSample.wmv"
    filename="kids.mpg" autostart="True"
    showcontrols="True" showstatusbar="False"
    showdisplay="False" autorewind="True">
    </embed> </object>

chrisrowan no embed tag listed in legal tags 1 Mar 14 2009, 7:08 AM EDT by chrisrowan

Am attempting to follow these instructions, but 'embed' is not one of the tags available to check or uncheck under 'legal tags'! Does any one have the same problem, or advice?
Do you find this valuable?
