Webdesigner 6 - Video popup, with close funktion?

**newbeee** · 14 May 2010, 07:48 PM

Hello,
how can I make my videos (flv) to popup, in center of my page including a close function?
The page should dim, like it can be done with picture popups.
Anyway, how do I picture popups in the center as well?

thx for any help.

regards
Volker

Welcome to TG Volker,

Image popups can be centred using a simple HighSlide tweak.
See here:

Popup videos can be created by placing them on a popup layer.
Layers use special names to control how they popup (fade) and stay on the screen (locked). You also need to use some javascript to 'close' the popup.

Have a looked at this thread for details:

Hello Steve, first of all thanks a lot for your quick reply.
The only problem is. I do not really get it, how to do the video popup, because my english is not that good, to understand everything what should be done.
Maybe I can upload my *.web file to have a look at it?

Have a nice weekend

regards
Volker

Ah, I don't read German - sorry.
However I did create a short video about this task a few weeks ago.

Please download and have a look.

Hello Steve,
not really what I meant.
Just have a look here http://www.jetzt-informieren.com/einarbeitungsvideos/ and when you click on the links "video starten" you will notice that smooth popup and dimming the background slightly.

Well, you were'n't very specific other than a Video popup with a close button.
Unless you find some third party scripts you can use in placeholders this 'expanding' effect is not possible with Xara Web Designer tools.

Look at this even Xara might have this option, when clicking on the video links at http://www.xara.com/us/products/xtreme/tutorials-demos/ or do they use third party tweaks?
