Embedding a presentation in a Web page lets you play back clips without
launching RealOne Player as a separate application. You can even include
in your page RealOne Player controls such as fast forward and pause. This
page explains how you add markup to a Web page so that people view your
RealSystem presentation directly through their Web browsers.
How
do I embed RealOne Player into my Web site so that it will be recognized
by both Netscape and Internet Explorer?
Using RealSystem enables seamless integration of RealOne Player
Controls into your Web page layout. You can place individual interactive
components, such as control buttons or a RealOne Player image window anywhere
on your page, just as you can place an image using the IMG tag in HTML.
There are two RealOne Player
features which, in conjunction with the most popular Web browsers, enable
"in page" controls.
RealOne Player Plug-in
provides Player-like features to browsers that support the Netscape
Discovery Plug-in architecture.
RealOne Player Controls
for Active X work with Internet Explorer 4.0 and newer as well as Visual Basic
applications to provide RealMedia playback capabilities.
It is possible to author
for both Netscape and Internet Explorer by nesting the EMBED tag within
the OBJECT tag.
Below is a simple example
of the HTML code required to create an embedded RealOne Player with only
a video window:
This code generates
the following embedded RealOne Player:
For the
most platform-independant Embedded RealOne Player, link to a SMIL file or
Ram file, rather than your .rm file directly.
Additional
Information:
For more specific information, the Production
Guide and the Embedded
RealOne Player Extended Functionality Guide explain in greater detail
how to embed RealMedia clips in your page. It is possible to add standard
RealOne Player controls or create your own from images or Flash files.
