Seek in windows media file
February 19, 2009 12:00 AM
Sir...Couldn't you use Windows Media File Editor and insert a marker at the beginning, or at interval points your client wants, then place the video on the page, without displaying the play bar. You could use Events to trigger the markers to certain points of the video and that way they can sort-of rewind, but not advance to the end....Okay, I just tried that, and I can't figure out a way to get to the Events in a video, from a button outside of the video properties.So I thought of a second solution. This one involves a series of invisible bars, which lay over the video play bar, and as the video plays the bars swap out for lesser in length bars. Sort of a reverse progress bar, but invisible. This will allow the user to back up to certain earlier points in the video, but would block out future points. You'd have to make them increment, and through actions or similiar, remove a longer one for a lesser one at a timed interval as the video plays (like a reverse invisible progress bar.)Just a thought...I'll keep thinking on this one. I like the question.
