Question
Using Flash Media player to play files run from a database
Hello all,
I have a dynamic webpage which is connected to a MySQL database displaying dynamic information stored in a MySQL table.
One additional field I have added is a 'video' field in which the path to a flash video file is displayed.
I have a number of user (each user corresponds to a row in the table) pictures which are stored in a folder, but the paths to which are stored in the database.Using Dreamweaver, I can drag the dynamic binding onto the image place holder and then it will lift the corresponding image from the table, but the flash video player doesn't seem to allow me to do this.
I would like to do something similar for flash videos, but I'm not sure how to do it. Whenever I add a flash movie through the media player I need to specify the path - which will change depending on what entry in the table is being viewed.
I have created my websites only with dreamweaver and can't program which probably explains why I've got no idea what to do. Hope I made sense - will gladly clarify or send you my code.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Adam
