jeffman Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 A DIRECT link? Not an embedded object, but something like <a href="my.wmv">movie</a> ?No. With a link, you pass complete control to the browser, which plays it with a plugin or an external player. Their settings, if any, will determine the behavior.But you could write a simple file that embeds the movie as an object with the autostart parameter set to false. With a little PHP you could automate the whole process so that you only have one template file and it gets the correct movie based on the url query string. Your link would look like this <a href="movie.php?my.wmv">movie</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
