I have a link on the webpage that I want the user to click so they can see one of the items in the playlist - is this possible? If so, is it difficult? Looking forward to the answer.

Can I connect a hyperlink to a item on playlist ?

I am not sure what full player means, but I posted the code below. Right now, it is not working with the new information you gave me. The HIGHLIGHT on the playlist does not change when I click the item and hence the video does not change to the right one. I have tried a host of different numbers and the result is the same.
Here is the code from the player if that is what you are asking for :
Also, thank you so much for the quick response!
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:sendEvent('playitem', 0); return false;"><img alt="" src="images/read_but.gif" /></a>

You don't need to change anything in the playlist. Use anchor, button, image, div, any HTML element that will accept the onclick.

Weird, I don't have that script for the player, just what I sent you - my player works fine as well, just don't have the this part:

I posted a full, functioning, tested page, including several methods (anchor, image, button) for selecting playlist items and including the bare minimum JavaScript API code.
Copy and paste whatever you need.

Ok, I am a little confused, so I will try to clarify.
Right now, I don't have ALL the code you pasted, but my player with playlist works perfectly (except for the part of the hyperlink). Am I just lucky on that account?
Now, to get the hyperlink to work, I need to paste the addition code from above into my already existing page. You said you posted a full functioning tested page - but I wasn't sure where. I know you do provide loads of different links, but I don't think I saw the exact one you were talking about (maybe it is JAVASCRIPT INTERACTION?)
Again, thanks for all the help - I know this is your free time.

Your original code is sufficient for playing media from a playlist.
When you want to use JavaScript to control the player, you need the additional code that is the interface to the JavaScript API.
Rather than just posting snippets of code, that may be full of mistakes and typOs, and that probably wouldn't make sense to you and that you wouldn't know where to place in your page, I made, tested and posted a full, fully functional, tested page.
You should use it as a template to make your own page as it illustrates good coding practices, has the needed code, and has several examples of ways to create the link to play a particular item on the playlist.
If you get stuck post back here, full player code again, and we'll help you out.

Ok, I have tried this out - using your code - and it still does not change when I click on the Play 2 or the image for Play 2. I will show you the code, but it is pretty much the same as yours. I am guessing I need to change something in the last part where it references from the onclick - and Play Item 2 - was there a change that needed to go in there?
I have four items in the playlist and when I click on the Play Item two, the video continues to play and does not switch to item two (or item one because you start at zero). Sorry for not getting this...
Posted: Sat, 2008-04-05 10:23

Here is what I have done with the last part, trying to get it to work :

<img src="image.jpg" onclick="javascript:sendEvent('playitem', 2); return false;" alt="Click to Play Item 1" />
<img src="image.jpg" onclick="javascript:sendEvent('playitem', 1); return false;" alt="Click to Play Item 0" />
<button onclick="javascript:sendEvent('playitem', 3); return false;">Play Item 2</button>

Well, your code is perfectly good. By any chance, are you trying to run this offline? Browser security restrictions prevent the JavaScript API from functioning off line.
For Internet Explorer, you can put the MOTW (See: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537628(VS.85).aspx) immediately after the opening html tag. This allows JavaScript to have local file access
Like this:
<html lang="en">

Thanks for your support, you are really awesome. Just trying to get annotation done. I have the stuff in the playlist, but I am going to have to look through the material again to see how it is done. The link for the old annotation demo doesn't seem to work anymore :

What kind of annotation demo and/or code do you want? (I have many!)
What do you want displayed?

When a new track starts?

I want a simple description and name of the video underneath the Video in the HTML portion of the webpage. I think that makes sense.
Posted: Sun, 2008-04-13 15:15
AJAX
OK
First you need some CSS to position the Title and the Description. Adjust to suit your page.
<style type="text/css">
div.title
{
position: absolute;
top: 560px;
left: 150px;
font-style: normal;
font-variant: normal;
font-weight: 900;
font-size: 1em;
font-family: arial, "arial unicode ms";
color: #000000;
} div.description
{
position: absolute;
top: 660px;
left: 150px;
font-style: normal;
font-variant: normal;
font-weight: 900;
font-size: 1em;
font-family: arial, "arial unicode ms";
color: #000000;
}
</style>
A couple of divs to hold the Title and the Description.
<div id="title" class="title">
</div>
<div id="description" class="description">
</div>And the JavaScript to retrieve and display the Title and the Description.
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
var currentItem; function getUpdate(typ, pr1, pr2, pid)
{
if(typ == 'item')
{
currentItem = pr1;
setTimeout('getItemData(currentItem)', 100);
}
};
function getItemData(idx)
{
var obj = thisMovie('mpl').itemData(idx);
document.getElementById('title').innerHTML = obj['title'];
document.getElementById('description').innerHTML = obj['description'];
};
function thisMovie(movieName)
{
if(navigator.appName.indexOf('Microsoft') != -1)
{
return window[movieName];
}
else
{
return document[movieName];
}
};
</script>
Be sure that you update 'mpl' to whatever javascriptid you are using for your player.
Posted: Wed, 2008-04-16 16:36
Bones
Where are they getting the title and description from - the playlist?
Also, does it matter where the Javascript goes in the webpage? At the top?
Lastly, what does mpl mean? Is that the playlist or something else like the mediaplayer?
Posted: Wed, 2008-04-16 18:36
AJAX
The title comes from the title element of the playlist.
The description comes from the annotation element of the playlist.
The JavaScript goes in the head element of your HTML document.
mpl is the id/name/javascriptid of the player. It is written to the object/embed elements when the player is created and used to refer to that particular player when using the JavaScript API.

var so = new SWFObject('mediaplayer.swf', 'mpl', '525', '300', '8');
Is this what you are referring to? I am sorry, I am not getting it and this sucks because I am so close to finishing! I see the "mpl", and so I am guessing that is the mediaplayer acronym. But I am unable to see where it NAMED the mediaplayer something else. I am looking in the code, maybe I should be looking at the windows explorer and my files?
Posted: Wed, 2008-04-16 19:54
AJAX
From: http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/
var so = new SWFObject(swf, id, width, height, version, background-color [, quality, xiRedirectUrl, redirectUrl, detectKey]);
So you see the second parameter is the player's id. This is the name of the player, just like your name is "Bones'. so when I want to talk to the player, I use 'mpl', when I want to talk to you, I use 'Bones'.
In the JavaScript code, when we want to get a reference to the Movie (the JW FLV Media Player - mediaplayer.swf), we use: thisMovie('mpl') referring to the mediaplayer by it's name/id/javascriptid of 'mpl'.

Ok, is there a way of putting in the description that isn't CSS? By using regular html or do I have to go that route? I am having a difficult time getting it lined up properly...
Posted: Thu, 2008-04-17 17:51
AJAX
You can delete or comment out the CSS.
Then use HTML to position the HTML elements with ids of "title" and "description".
I find it much easier to use CSS. If you would like some help with the CSS, post your HTML page or a link to your test page and I'll give you some pointers, or do it with HTML if you want to go that route.
Posted: Sat, 2008-04-19 14:02

I am getting it, slowly but surely. I will probably post the entire page when I am done everything. Right now, the video TIME or length of the video is always showing 20secs even though the video is 5 minutes - trying to figure that out. Also the annotation - is it supposed to look like this :
<annotation>
<B>Project name:</B> ( <font style="color:#E82602"> Orbs</font> ) <BR>
<B>Product:</B> (<font style="color:#E82602"> flv video </font> ) <BR>
<B>Length:</B> (<font style="color:#E82602"> 0:20 </font> ) <BR>
</annotation>
I just don't understand the symbols and such in the annotation and what they are there for, maybe I am not supposed to understand...

@Bones - you can not use unencoded html tags directly in the <annotation> tag !
you must use a <![CDATA[...]]> tag and also encode < and > as < and > to format the html on the page...
please see the source of the example http://home5.inet.tele.dk/nyboe/flash/mediaplayer/annotationdisplayimage.htm
and the playlist: http://home5.inet.tele.dk/nyboe/flash/mediaplayer/playlist_mixmedia_annotation_image.xml

I also notice that when I upload a change in the javascript, that it doesn't refresh for a long time - I end up looking at no changes in both Fox and IE because it seems the js or something else is causing an abnormal amount of time to kick in the new changes - anyone else? How about the <annotation> my video </annotation> ? This is probably part of the issue why I am still asking questions because I can't get an update from my server or the site to show the changes...
Posted: Wed, 2008-04-23 06:55

Hey it works ! Wait, no, it worked.. The (wonderful, BTW, thanks a lot) AJAX code stopped working when using the new player.swf... Has the "so.addParam" syntax changed between the 3.8 and the >4 versions ? In short, what can I do to make *exactly this code* (the AJAX example, see above) work with the new current player.swf ?
Thanks a lot to all of you guys, this mediaplaying system is really neat.

Search for "swfobject.getQueryParamValue".
You will find examples like this that show how to call another page that has a player and playlist and pass a query parameter that can be a file, a playlist, an index, a seek time, etc.

You are trying to use v3 player JavaScript API code with a v4 player. The JavaScript API code for the v4 player is completely different.
Replace this:
<script type="text/javascript">
function sendEvent(typ, prm)
{
thisMovie('mpl').sendEvent(typ, prm);
};function thisMovie(movieName)
{
if(navigator.appName.indexOf('Microsoft') != -1)
{
return window[movieName];
}
else
{
return document[movieName];
}
};
</script>
With this:
<script type="text/javascript">
var player = null; function playerReady(obj)
{
player = document.getElementById(obj.id);
};
function loadNplay(idx)
{
player.sendEvent('ITEM', idx);
//...uncomment the next line to start the player after the player indexes to the selected track (needed for some releases)
//setTimeout("player.sendEvent('PLAY', 'true')", 100);
};
</script>
then your links should look like this:
<li><a href="#" onclick="loadNplay(0); return false;">Meet Dr. Pittaluga</a></li>Also, update your player code:
<script type="text/javascript">

Hey, thanks lost. My suspicion was that I was working with old code on a newer player, but after an hour and a half of searching I had run out of places to look, and I'm no Flash expert!
Works perfectly now, and will probably become a regular solution for us. Thanks again for your help, and the quick reply!. :thumbup:

I tried both versions of the code provided here:
http://www.rpmvm.com/dev/buttons/index2.html
and
http://www.rpmvm.com/dev/buttons/index_v2.html
Please let me know if there is something that I have done -code-wise or version-wise that does not check out, I have been at this for a couple of days so any help would be greatly appreciated.

index2.html is using JavaScript code for the v3 player JavaScript API with a v4 player. Won't ever work.
index_v2.html works fine for me — your playlist needs to be wider, but everything works correctly.
You can see some cleaned up & functioning code on my test page here: http://willswonders.myip.org:8074/index_v2.html

ok are you saying my index_v2.html actually works on your machine?
you are also referencing my player -so my player player version is ok too.
I will try your cleaned up version.
will this work without displaying the vertical playlist?

Yes, index_v2.html from your server works for me.
Your player and playlist are also OK.
By the "vertical playlist", are you referring to the playlist on the right side of the player? Yes, the player will work without any playlist display at all. Set the playlist flashvar to none and delete the playlistsize flashvar.

Any way around that?

Your code from: http://www.rpmvm.com/dev/buttons/index_v2.html works fine for me in Internet Explorer, so you have a local problem, possibly a corrupted Adobe Flash Player in IE. Unintall it with Adobe's uninstaller, then re-install from Adobe.
You need the basic JavaScript API interface code including the sendEvent() function.
More info here: [url=http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Javascript_interaction]JAVASCRIPT INTERACTION[/url]
Then use a link like this:
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:sendEvent('playitem', 3); return false;">Play Item 2</a>Notice that the playlist item count starts with zero.If you get stuck, post your full player here and we'll help you further.
