Is it possible to call a quick time .mov file from someone else's website and display the file as part of our web page. Of course I'll get permission before I go ahead with it from the file owner, just want to know if it's possible and how to do it.
Yes, no problem. <object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" width="320" height="256" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"> <param name="src" value="http://www.domain.com/filename.mov"> <param name="autoplay" value="true"> <param name="controller" value="true"> <param name="loop" value="false"> <embed src="http://www.domain.com/filename.mov" width="320" height="256" autoplay="true" controller="true" loop="false" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/"> </embed> </object> Code (markup):
of course if you do not have permission then you will most likely be done (by the owner) for hotlinking and stealing their bandwidth.
True, I'm not into stealing content, this is just for a client's site who appears in a film on the site in question. Either she gets permission to use the file or doesn't. Cheers briandunning for the code.
