How to embed PhotoStory3 WMV Files in Front Page

I looked at a couple and they worked perfectly for me Remember that the show has to be streamed down to the buffer before it starts playing in WMP - the speed of that depends on your internet connection. Even on broadband at 576 kps there is a delay before the show starts.

Great show, BTW

You have an error/ommission in your html code, specifically you have no img src defined:

Code:

<td width= "21%" height= "125 "><!--mstheme--><font face= "trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href= "http://home.comcast.net/~grins.and.frowns/CAV-1.wmv ">
    <img border= "0" dynsrc= "CAV-1.wmv" start= "fileopen" width= "160" height= "120" loop= "infinite "></a><!--mstheme--></font></td>

You should be using an image or thumbnail image that can be clicked, not just the dynamic source of the multimedia file. And fileopen will slow the page loading considerable, unwise to have a video file open at page load.

You'd be better using the <object> or <embed> tag instead of the <img> tag for wmv files. Here's a sample using <embed> which works in IE and other browsers:

Code:

<td width= "21%" height= "125 "><!--mstheme--><font face= "trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <embed src= "http://home.comcast.net/~grins.and.frowns/CAV-1.wmv" width= "160" height= "120" loop= "infinite" autoostart= "false "><!--mstheme--></font></td>

look closely and you'll see that you have "fileopen" for 2 separate wmv files, which means both will try to load and play at the same time. Not good as it will lockup slower computer systems.

Code:

<td width= "21%" height= "125 "><!--mstheme--><font face= "trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href= "http://home.comcast.net/~grins.and.frowns/CAV-1.wmv ">
    <img border= "0" dynsrc= "CAV-1.wmv" start= "fileopen" width= "160" height= "120" loop= "infinite "></a><!--mstheme--></font></td>
    <td width= "20%" height= "125 "><!--mstheme--><font face= "trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica ">&nbsp;
    <a href= "http://home.comcast.net/~grins.and.frowns/CAV-2.wmv ">
    <img border= "0" dynsrc= "CAV-2.wmv" start= "fileopen" width= "160" height= "120" loop= "infinite "></a><!--mstheme--></font></td>
    <td width= "30%" height= "125 "><!--mstheme--><font face= "trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica ">
    <p align= "center "><b><i><font size= "5" face= "Trebuchet MS" color= "#008000 ">
