video (media player addin)

[uisken]

I just added a video clip to a webpage using FP2003. It works fine using
Internet Explorer - but not with FireFox. Is this a firm restriction? Any
way around it?

How did you add the media clip (provide the code from code view)
- You should create it with a cross browser compatible <object> tag
You could download the FP WMP Addin which will generate the code for you

I downloaded the WMP addin from the link you provided to me on 8/21/08 under
subject 'video clip' (same link as below). Is this 'cross browser'
compatible? The code generated can be seen here:

That won't work on any browser
You have the movie file pointing to a file on your hard drive at
C:\My Documents\valiantweb\badcommute.wmv
Make sure you open a FP Web site (not just a page)
- and File Import your media file (badcommute.wmv) into the FP web
- then add it to the page and publish the site (so the media file gets uploaded to your server)

Are you sure about your answer? I have sent this link to many friends to
test. It works fine for everyone that uses IE as a browser; it doesn't work
for those using Firefox. It works on my computer (even after I removed the
local 'badcommute.wmv' file to make sure it wasn't being accessed from IE).

Did you try it using IE? If not, would you?

p.s. In your answer, you specified that I use File / Import; is this
important? Won't copy (from local file) / paste (into local web) work as
well?
