Selecting videos

[webmannw]

Hi all,

I have a web page with windows media player (WMP) embedded in one side and a table with thumbnails on the other side.

As things stand the user can click on any of the thumbnails and the corresponding video will play in WMP.

I have put a checkbox next to each thumbnail and now I need the facility for a user to select one or more checkboxes, click on a 'Play Videos' button and have the selected videos play one after the other in WMP (ordered by the rows in the table.

I need to do this in javascript but my knowledge has hit a wall and I'm really stuck.

If the above is clear enough can anyone help?

Thanks all

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking is possible...

I'm not a javascript expert but couldn't you pass a list of the files you need to play into the url and then just keep refreshing the page deleting the filename from the url after the video has finished playing.

or maybe using a cookie?

I'm not sure you can detect if the video has ended playing tho.. can you?

Thanks for the replys guys.

Been thinking about it and wondering if the selected clips can be sent to an array and then have media player go through the array and play any clips in there.

If I can work this out I will let you know.

Thanks again.
