Video problem using xara webdesigner.

[rico77]

Hello,

Every time I move my mouse over a button, logo or link on a webpage generated by web designer - my video freeze and when I move the mouse over to a blank area it start playing again. The video was embedded using the place holder and selecting replace with HTML code.
This happen for both FLV and SWF video. Any ideas will be very helpful!

I’m using Xara web designer 5.0.1 7886DL

Thanks

Thanks for your reply.


When you unzip the file and open the index file. When you press play on the video and then move your mouse over the any of the blue or black buttons ,the video freeze in internet explorer etc.

I created a square in web designer, went to web properties and pasted the code in Replace with HTML code (see code below)

Then I got the problem explained above.

Now I tried a different approach , I created a plain page in web designer went to the view source and the pasted this same code below in the page and everything work fine, it seem using replace with HTML code add extra code that doesn’t not make my video work well.

Any help will be great.
Thanks

Create a 300x270 pixel placeholder object then open Web Properties>>'Placeholder' tab and use the 'Replace with flash' button to add your SyncVideo.swf
It can be anywhere on your HDD because Web Designer will create a copy for publishing.
Xara Web Designer will also create the necessary embed code.
