Anyone have a copy of that small commercial on the top left of the homepage? I was going to see if I could put it on a site I run...maybe even a link to it so I can take the link and put in an embed code?

Spikes, use a simple HTML code to reduce the size. Example:



Use pixel values to determine height and width. Simple.

YES!
Only I wish it wasn't on youtube, but something that automatically played when a person scrolled by it.

EDIT: I'll try that Den.

or you could download the meduim res one, open it in windows movie maker and save it at a low res version. It saves it to 115x115 size (about) and only 117KB file size, looks alot like the one on the site, all grainy and stuff.

Of course... if your going to post it publicly I'd get permission from the Brass. Always supply a link to the Game also.

Hmm...what about:

Downloading Hi-Res version, uploading to my webserver, getting the link and using the code Den put up? :confused:

First ask Hitech if it's alright. Then you can use the steps you mentioned.:aok

keep in mind, you're going to be asking someone to download the hi res version everytime they log on.  The little one ain't that bad, but the big one will make people wanna fire up the torches ;)

Like Rebel said, thats a big file, thats why HTC's site showes the low res one and gives you a link for the med., and high res versions.

Where is this site your working on? I love checking out others sites...... especially when I'm suppose to be working  :)

Most people ask their web browsers to dump all of that. It would be better to go with the low-res, besides, it's a small viewing screen.:aok

Sure it will, until they either dump their history, the file gets older then (x) days (whatever they have that set at), or they do a disk cleanup wizard.  

Point is, it'll take forever to load the first time- that'll turn a buncha people off right away.  Just sayin.

My FTP isn't doing it right...does anyone have a good host that doesn't have the stupid bar at the bottom and all like Youtube does? I just want it like they have it on the main page.

load the file to your server where you save your pictures for your site.

add this line to the body of your webpage.....



change the blahblah to the place you saved the file on the server, and it should work. If you want to force it to a certain size you can add that to the line after the"true"

You still haven't posted a link to your site !!

OK...that worked, but:

1) It doesn't auto-start
2) The little bar still shows at the bottom

I'm testing it here:

EDIT: OK, now it autostarts...

This is the code HTC used to play the film, I don't know if it will work for you:
















Hopefully that works for you. Change the "" to the location of your film. If you are uploading the film into the same folder as the HTML file that will be playing it, you will only have to list the file name, not the folder name. (Example: movie.wmv instead of \movies\movie.wmv)

It can be quite confusing, I don't expect you to understand my complicated instructions. If you want some more help on it I would be more than happy to PM you and resolve the issue.
