HI:-)

I wanted to know if its possible to play streaming video in a asp page?
I'm using codecharge studio 2.1.1.20 in Asp code with access 2002 database.

I'm not really sure how to include streaming video in my site.
What i want is a list of streaming videos and when you click on one, it play...;-)

In my database, what do i need to be the link to the video? The Href reference to the asx file? Well, i'm trying a couple of things without success and i just want to know if this kind of things are possible to do with codecharge studio.

Thanks in advance!

You probably need an <APPLET> block to contain the stream object. Might be
best to create a non-CCS page that can display the applet and either
configure that page to act as a popup window (via a link with the target set
to "_blank") or embedd it into an IFRAME. I don't think you'll have success
putting the <APPLET> block in the html file as that gets parsed as a
template, not sent straight to the browser.

I say this having never tried it, and so I might be way off base here.

If the video is handled by RealPlayer, etc. then you probably don't have to
do anything except link to the appropriate URL for the viseo stream.
RealPlayer will popup it's own window and take over from there.

Yes, if it's possible without CodeCharge Studio then I see no reason why couldn't be done in CCS. The 1st step would be to find out how it's done without CCS.
I just looked at Microsoft's own streaming video demos and they all are launched via simple Href links:

Yes, you would basically start with with storing your .asx file URLs in the database (or wmv files, or other). Then in your Grid configure these 2 properties of your link:
Href Type: Database
Href Source: (database field name containing your link)

That's it.

Thanks both of you for taking time for answering me. Finally, what i did was storing the .asx file in my database and in the grid, have the possibility to click on that link and like you wrote Peter, configure the 2 properties of the link;
Href Type: Database
Href Source: (database field name containing your link)

... and that work on the first try!!! hehehee Sometimes it's a bit hard when it's too easy....:-P
