quicktime autoplay

Feb 3, 2009 4:00 PM

I'm recreating the interactivity on my site. I'd like when you click on a page, for example SPOTS you come to this:

http://www.toddheymandirector.com/spots/index2.html

I'd like to have the qt movie automatically play (Right now I only have the first movie working) and for the thumb below to be highlighted as it does. I'd also like each subsequent movie to play when the other is done and its corresponding thumb to highlight, but if you click on a thumb (I created rollovers for each) no matter what's playing, it goes to that movie. Is there a way to do this in dreamweaver?

    Try this in your html movie parameter, suppose you want to play movie 1 then 2 then 3 back 1

    <PARAM Name="Src" Value="MovieOne.mov">

    <PARAM Name="QTNext1" Value="MovieTwo.mov">

    <PARAM Name="QTNext2" Value="MovieThree.mov">

    <PARAM Name="QTNext3" Value="GoTo1">

    you'll have to excuse me I'm not great at coding..

    this is the current movie code:

    <div id="Layer23">
    <embed src="../movies/spots/nike_thegetaway_lrge1.mov" width="540" height="290"></embed>
    </div>
    <div class="style44" id="Layer25">
    <div align="center" class="style47">

    how would the code you suggest go? does it replace the above? and how would I be able to make the thumbs below also be able to select the movie on the same page?

    that was really helpful thanks.

    i used the qtnext parameter but it doesn't play the subsequent movie for some reason. (see code below)

    also does anyone know how to make those thumbs below the qts highlight to it's corresponding movie when its playing (the way the nike currently does)?
