Question
Displaying wmv videos in HTMLHelp
I'm trying to display videos (wmv) in HTMLHelp. I do a HTML
jump to a .htm that has javascript to determine the path and then
an embed to display the video in a separate IE window. The video
displays (with Windows Media Player), but it takes 3 or 4 clicks
out of IE's warnings for running scripts and ActiveX controls. I'd
like to eliminate them.
On the Microsoft site ( http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/ie/ieak/techinfo/deploy/60/en/appendix.mspx?mfr=true) there is an explanation of how to get around them using a Mark of the Web. You basically put <-- saved from url=(0014)about:internet --> in the .htm and that makes it run in a zone other than the local machine zone.
It doesn't work still get the messages. However, if I copy the code (right-click on the movie page while it is running and select 'show source') and paste it into a separate .htm file and double-click on the .htm file, it works - no messages (actually I got the messages the first time it ran).
Anyone have a clue why it would work standalone, but not in HTMLHelp?
