Hello @ll!
i just have a questition: i am actually working on my own video comunity web
site. i already have some nice videos online. For this i want to give my
Comunity an embed link to embed the videos stored on my webhost to their own
sites like youtube...

actually this embed looks like this:

<object width="425" height="355">
<param name="movie" value="player.swf?file=movie.flv"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="player.swf?file=movie.flv" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355">
</embed>
</object>

but i am not happy with this embed code because the user knows, where the
player is located also where the file is being stored. With this link i also
have no possiblity to count the video (the counter is stored in mssql)

How can i use an embed link like youtube which looks like this:
<object width="425" height="355">
<param name="movie" value="movie.aspx?file=movie.flv"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="movie.aspx?file=movie.flv" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355">
</embed>
</object>

i want to create an aspx file, which i can use in the embed above. How can i
do this without using any Flash Streaming Addins?
cheers Alois
 
You are on the right track. What seems to be a prblem though?

Just make movie.aspx that will do what you want to do with counter and user
Response.WriteFile.

you might need to set correct content type though.
Use fidler tool (google it) to see what to set ContentType to when returning
..flv file

Hi George,
thank you for your reply, i already have the aspx file with the following
code:

Response.Clear()
' set the content type to SWF
Response.ContentType = "application/x-shockwave-flash"
' add content type header
Response.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-shockwave-flash")
' set the content disposition
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition",
"inline;filename=player.swf?file=movie.flv")
' write the buffer with swf file to the output
Response.End()

this doesn't work?
thank you, Alois
 
I do not see the actual line that outputs file to browser.
Response.WriteFile
Can it be a reason so it does not work?

George.
 
Hi, i have no filehandle, so the Response.WriteFile is raising an error. But
i have found a script, which writes out the embed successfully in fullscreen
to the browser:

'***** >8 movie.aspx
FlashString = "<html><head>"
FlashString += "<script language=""javascript"" type=""text/javascript"">"
FlashString += "function ObjectLoad()"
FlashString += "{"
FlashString += " if ( objectDestination )"
FlashString += " {"
FlashString += " var bodyElement =
objectDestination.parentElement;"
FlashString += " if ( bodyElement.objectSource )"
FlashString += " {"
FlashString += " bodyElement.innerHTML = ""<embed width=100%
height=100% fullscreen=yes>"";"
FlashString += " bodyElement.firstChild.src =
bodyElement.objectSource;"
FlashString += " }"
FlashString += " }"
FlashString += "}"
FlashString += "<" & "/" & "script></head>"
FlashString += "<body objectSource=""player.swf?file=movie.flv""
FlashString += " onload=""ObjectLoad();"" leftmargin=0 topmargin=0
scroll=no> <form id=""objectDestination""></form></body></html>"

Response.Clear()
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;")
'Response.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-shockwave-flash") <=
This is out commented, because this doesn't work ?!
Response.Write(FlashString)
Response.End()

This Code Snippets in the movie.aspx returns the working flashplayer with
the given movie. This Works fine. But using this movie.aspx within an embed
this doesn't work anymore:

'******* >8 player.aspx
<object width="425" height="355">
<param name="movie" value="movie.aspx?file=movie.flv"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="movie.aspx?file=movie.flv" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355">
</embed>
</object>

Is this the right way? or should i try to use the Response.WriteFile()? How
can i use WriteFile?
Thanks Alois
 
You are confusing me now.....
You need to have 2 aspx pages.
1. First page will produce html with the object tag. (Does not matter how
you do it with Javascript or not)
<object width="425" height="355">
<param name="movie" value="movie.aspx?file=movie.flv"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="movie.aspx?file=movie.flv"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425"
height="355">
</embed>
</object>

2. Second page is movie.aspx that should have folowing code.
....increment counter.....
....output movie....
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application/x-shockwave-flash";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-shockwave-flash");
Response.WriteFile(Server.MapPath("~/mymoviefolder/" + Request[file]));
Response.End();

Hello George,

thank you for your reply. Yes, thats true, i have 2 aspx files. one with the
embed and the second, which produces the embed object.

i also have a player (swf) and a flash file (flv) OR a player (swf) and a
streamed file (rmtp). for this it was my idea to "prepare" the object with
the player and the movie and give this constellation to the embed object.
how can i do this with the WriteFile and MapPath?

Thanks a lot
Alois

Your value has such preparation value="movie.aspx?file=movie.flv"

It tells the flash player to load movie from movie.aspx.

The movie.aspx in return must return the physical file...Thus you need to
use WriteFile. And you need to use MapPath just because WriteFile takes
physical path (like C:\intepub\myfile.flv).
