Embed Media Players in Flash -- HOW?

[Metrov 8]

Until just a few minutes ago, I thought it was not possible to embed media players like Quicktime and RealPlayer in Flash movies. However, I just visited http://www.bluesponge.com , and it seems they have done it.

Can someone please give me the scoop on how this is done, or direct me to a tutorial? I'm working on a deadline for an important client, and it would be awesome to have this feature on their CD Rom.

Thank you very, very much. Metrov

They using iframe to load layer into "position: absolute" (on the top of flashplayer)

And They using a javascript (http://www.bluesponge.com/english.js) to load different AVIs into IFRAME

example:

<iframe name="testFrame" id="testFrame" frameborder=0 noresize style = "width: 200; height: 200; left: 350px; top: 100px; overflow: hidden; visibility: visible" scrolling = no src="name_of_loaded_page.html">
</iframe>

Strok, thank you so much. That is very nice information to have. Too bad it only works in IE. I'm creating cross-platform CDs that use the standalone Flash projector. So I guess I'm still looking for another solution. Or perhaps I will have to use SV.

Best wishes, Metrov

May be you can use FS Commands for that. But I think that too only works with IE only.

thanks, Nisha.

I think I've found a workable solution:
