Yes...how to get it completly off my computer...with all locations in the registry...this has gave me more problems then anything I can think of.

Isn't there an "uninstall" option!?
:ak47: :bash: :drunk: :gunner:

Yep. I knew that...uninstall doesn't take it all off, can't d/load any .exe with IE or Net....that keeps popping up, then a broken icon of it...have to use Opera to d/load.

That's gotta suck!!! Anyways, i suggest you re-download it and overwrite the remaining files. I don't see why you'd want to delete it anyways! If it's because you're out of h-drive space, then you're probably going to have to get it expanded. :ak47:

YES!

I am trying to get my QT Streaming Server up and running and I am testing the <EMBED> tag in my html pages. I want an embedded image (or one frame movie) that is a link, loading the movie and replacing the image.

Basically like Apple has on its trailers page (http://www.apple.com/trailers).

How do I do this? Why do they have so many parameters tags etc?

I thought it was as simple as:

<embed name="test" src="movies/link.mov" width="640" height="480" target="QuickTimePlayer"></embed>

Where link.mov is a one frame QT movie.

The Apple trailers have stuff like this:

<OBJECT CLASSID="link" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="196" CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<PARAM name="SRC" VALUE="images/large.mov">
<PARAM name="AUTOPLAY" VALUE="true">
<PARAM name="CONTROLLER" VALUE="false">
<PARAM name="target" VALUE="myself">
<PARAM name="href" VALUE="movieref">
<embed width="640" height="480" target="myself" src="movies/link.mov" href="movieref" type="video/quicktime" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/indext.html" controller="false" autoplay="true">
</OBJECT>

What is all this?

All help appreciated - you did offer ;)

JEEZ! This was my first post!!! I made this post back in the day when I thought I knew what I was talking about...I don't think I can help...But I'll try.

All I ever do is embed the file and give it's dimensions...

For Example:

<center><embed src="YOUR QT FILE" width="00" height="00"></center>

~That's all I can tell ya!~

Apple has a large archive of info on this subject.
The object tag is need for IE and also it checks out
for installed player. If negative it prompts for plug in dwnld.
Using param name you can control users experience.
Al values must be present in both tags - object and embed.

For your image to appear instead of Apple's you'll need to place it in a layer over the player (at least it works that way in Real and Windows).
