Media Player

Dragging this button onto a page will invoke a window from which several possible media player components may be selected. The selected component appears on the page.

Component at design time

Drag and drop a Media Player component onto the page:

Media Player component button
Media Player component selection window

The Media Player component varies at design time depending upon the component selected.

Component at runtime

The Media Player component varies at runtime depending upon the component selected and the media file selected for that component.

Attributes

The attributes for a Media Player component vary based upon what type of media player is selected from the Select Type window, which lets you choose Generic Player, Macromedia Flash Player, or Macromedia Shockwave Player. Two additional media player types are available, Real Player and Windows® Media Player, but not from the Select Type window. If you want to use Real Player or Windows Media Player, you must customize the palette to add them to the Faces components drawer:
  1. Right-click the palette, then select Customize.
  2. Scroll to the Faces components section and locate Real Player and Windows Media Player.
  3. Click on Real Player, then uncheck Hide. Repeat for Windows Media Player.
  4. Click Close. The Real Player and Windows Media Player are added to the palette.
