    Popup FLV player window in DWcs4

    dbthumb Community Member

      Is there a simple way to have a separate popup window to play FLV file after a user clicks an icon. I can't find an extention that will inable me to do this. Any suggestions would be very helpful. I'm on an iMac running OS10.6.8. Or, is there a way to create a small HTML page the size of the video and put the player on that HTML page? Thanks in advance.

          FYI: Flash video is not supported by many popular devices (iPhone, iPad, iTouch, some Androids...) and that list is getting bigger.  Most businesses and hobbyists are shifting to HTML5 players to reach a wider audience.

           

          If you have a player, you can use jQuery Fancybox (a lightbox alternative) to display it inside a modal window.

          If you don't have a player, you can upload your native video to YouTube.com or Vimeo video sharing sites.  Then embed their code into your web page with the Fancybox iframe.  See YouTube example.
