QuickTime: Displaying Your Controller Correctly In HTML
Pages
If you've ever placed a QuickTime Movie into your HTML page
you may have noticed you had to add some extra space around it
to get the controller to display correctly.
This is because the controller is part of the movie and you
must adjust the movie to accomodate the height.
Here is an example of the controller not being displayed
correctly. As you can see, part of it has been cut off or not
displayed.
When you want to use the controller in your movies, you must
add an ADDITIONAL 16 pixels to the height of your movie.
So, if your movie is 640x480 you must add 16 to the height.
In this case, your movie would be 640x496.
<embed src="mymovie.mov" width="640"
height="496">
Now, if you're embedding a Sound only movie, you would make
the movie's height 16 and adjust the width to a number that fits
well in your page.
Setting the Width to 33 for a Sound only movie, the
controller displays only a Play and Pause button.
It is not recommended to set your height and width values
less than 2 pixels each for hidden movies. |
