Flash file pointers: Yes, it's possible! The jw flv player does starting points but not ending points. Apparently you can do it with a bit more complex javascript, but I have not tried that myself. We make extensive use of the starting point capability on the following page: http://www.stanford.edu/class/hebrew/mmedia/index.html Ken Romeo [http://www.stanford.edu/people/kenro] Academic Technology Specialist [http://ats.stanford.edu] Stanford Language Center [http://language.stanford.edu] ----- Original Message ----- From: "LLTI-Editor" <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 7:27:52 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: Re: #8976.1 (!)

It's possible to do this using the open-source JW player (http://www.jeroenwijering.com/ ). Here's a sample page illustrating the functionality: http://fms.denniehoopingarner.com/mediaplayer/ All the business logic works by accessing the API of the JW player itself. No manipulation was performed on the FLV file. No special server technology or server-side scripting needed (BTW, it works with MP3 files as well as FLVs). Disclaimer: I've tested this only on Firefox for Mac and IE under Windows XP. Your milage may vary. Cheers!
