How can I make this:

<OBJECT ID=”Player” WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0
CLASSID=”CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95″>
<PARAM NAME=”BufferingTime” VALUE=”10″>
<PARAM NAME=”AudioStream” VALUE=”-1″>
<PARAM NAME=”Volume” VALUE=”-400″>
<PARAM NAME=”FileName” VALUE=”media/5d.mp3″>
</OBJECT>

@gebezisauthorJun 08.2005 — I don't understand

I use it for audio files

@phpnoviceJun 08.2005 — Yep, but in order to make it run on a timeout, JavaScript has to be able to manipulate the object. To do so, the object must expose methods which JavaScript can use in the desired fashion.

@phpnoviceJun 08.2005 — Ok, let's presume that the object exposes a method called "Play". If so, then you could do this:

window.setTimeout("document.getElementById('Player').Play()", 15000);

This would cause the object to play on a 15-second timeout.

@phpnoviceJun 08.2005 — Meaning?
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@gebezisauthorJun 08.2005 — I mean that the mp3 starts to play and when the timeout comes it starts again.

I mean I don't know what makes it start at the beginning.

the <object> is in the <body>.

@phpnoviceJun 08.2005 — There would have to be a PARAM that prevents it starting to play on its own. Otherwise, you can experiment to see if other methods are exposed such as (possibly):

.Stop()

.Pause()

.Rewind()

etc.

Success!
