I am using an xml file with the dropdown menu. I would like the list NOT to present UNLESS the dropdown arrow is clicked.
And
I cannot seem to figure out how to present a jpg on the screen using XML the same as I do with just one video.
Can that be done in the XML file? Or the code in the script will do...
Thanx
RJ
Really cool on the image question. A separate jpg for each video ! Thanx...
But...
I spent some time looking and I still cannot find the code to make the drop down menu appear ONLY when the drop down arrow is pressed... Right now that command (arrow down) does pause.
The issue is that I am presenting this player in a sidebar with a dozen videos in the playlist and dont want it to push down the the rest of the sidebar at all times.
I assume when I do get the code that when the dropdown is pressed, it will push the rest of the sidebar down until released?
And
Is there a way to add a line of text between the screen and the command line that says, USE DROP DOWN FOR MORE VIDEOS. Right now I just typed it in the bottom of the jpg there...
@rj,
What is the "drop down arrow" that you are referring to? Is it somethng that you have added to the player? Are you modifying the Player's AcrionScript source and re-compiling? The standard player doesn't have a dropdown arrow.
Oh! In the command line there is an arrow button pointing down between the full screen button and the volume button. I thought that was for a drop down menu! What is it for? :)
So is there any other way to pop up or drop down or even present the playlist within the screen or so I dont have a list of 12 file names taking up my precious sidebar room! :)
That downward-pointing arrow button is the "Download Button" turned on/off with showdownload=true/false.
For methods for making the playlist appear/disappear, see this thread: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?thread=10208 and andersen's demo page here: http://home5.inet.tele.dk/nyboe/flash/mediaplayer/
Your example in that last link you gave is IT! :)
This is being used in a sidebar on a blog.
So I assume the first part (head) goes in my index.tpl file, and the second part goes into the sidebar plugin I am using for the present player. I also assume these two pieces of code eliminate the xml file and the embed code I am using now?
One last question. :)
Your example has nothing beneath the player. Will the drop push the rest of the sidebar down or present over it?
