Hi,
I came across this “snippet”: http://activeden.net/item/true-full-screen-progressive-video-background-with-scan-lines/15071 but it is beyond my iWeb knowledge, anyone have any idea how to use it as background in an iWeb page? I can certainly use it in an iFrame as explained in the tutorials, but there's no reference on how to use it as full screen background. I'm sure it requires some coding, but not sure what to replace nor with what.
Any ideas?
Anybody has any ideas??
Can anybody help please!!
I would really know the same!!
Interesting.Background. Will be nice i......if anybody can help
I really need to know a solution to this too! Please help
Hi dinogomez,
I took a look at the link and it would require some real post publishing modifications to get it to work. I don't have the actual code on the referenced site, nor have I tested it with iWeb, but seems that you would have to add this code to the head section of .html page you want to add it to:
<!-- SWFObject embed by Geoff Stearns geoff@deconcept.com http://blog.deconcept.com/ -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
/* hide from ie on mac */
html {
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
#flashcontent {
height: 100%;
}
/* end hide */
body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #000000;
}
</style>
Then add this code into the body of your site:
<div id="flashcontent">
You need to upgrade your Flash Player
This is replaced by the Flash content.
Place your alternate content here and users without the Flash plugin or with
Javascript turned off will see this. Content here allows you to leave out noscript
tags. Include a link to bypass the detection if you wish.
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var so = new SWFObject("preview.swf", "fullScreen", "100%", "100%", "8", "#000000");
so.addParam("scale", "noscale");
so.addParam('salign', 'lt');
so.addParam("allowFullScreen","true");
so.write("flashcontent");
// ]]>
</script>
I'd recommend using Coda from Panic Software as a great HTML Editor, or you could just use TextEdit if you check the ignore rich text commands in html files pref.
Hope that helps.
Thank you for answer IwebUnlimited
I will try it, and let you know if it works.
I have been trying but have not gotten it to work. . Has anyone had success with putting the video background?.
I downloaded the FULLSCREEN VIDEO BACKGROUND PROGRESSIVE Site but i don´t get it
I have just looked athis quickly and looked at the linked pages. The result is really nice. First impression would be that the drawback is that it is flash. You limit your market with that when you could use something else. You could resize your page to basically be fullscreen and then have a movie running in a snippet. You can then place text boxes or whatever you like over the top and would reach more devices. Can't explain any further as boss on the way in.
