Media Player with a specified video file

[Guest]

I have added the Windows Media Player ActiveX control to a web page, and it works just fine. The problem is that for each video clip, I have to use another instance of the ActiveX Media Player control, making the page look cluttered

How can I have just one Windows Media Player ActiveX control on a web page (I'm using FrontPage 2000), and then have a series of links on that page that tell that control to play the specified video file? The idea is to have something similar to the news sites that let you select from multiple video clips and play any one of them on a single Media Player control

Thanks!

Thomas - thank you for the link! From what I could tell from reading through that, it looks like it involves using the SDK to do some custom coding. I was hoping that it was something relatively simple like formatting a link or something similar. Am I correct? Again, thank you for your help.

Stephen,

It does requires some custom coding, see if the following links help:

Again, thank you very much for your assistance. You've given me the start that I needed to get going. Hopefully, I'll end up where I was heading when I got started. Thanks
