Rich Media Content in Websites & WordPress

December 8, 2008 in Welcome | No comments

This is the blog of Advanced DHTML Popup and its sister sites including The WordPress Popup System. Here we track and provide examples of all the developments we make in rich media content (largely Flash Video) embedding in websites and wordpress blogs.

This is achieved either by directly embedding with JavaScript or by the use of DHTML layers to provide positioning flexibility, complete display control through an easy to manage and simple API’s, and other functionality.

Our most recent release is the WordPress Plugin for DHTML popups - see here. The plugin comes with a set of templates loaded with default values, these can act as starting points and modified by the settings in the options page. They include standard uses such as an Aweber & GetResponse optin forms.

Also recently released is our powerful & lightweight flash video player. This player is focussed on the web and blog developer that is serious about using video, including multiple videos, since it is solves completely the problem of bandwidth overload with an option to override automatic video stream buffering. But this is only the start, affliliate links, redirection, running script at the end of play, auto-close, auto-scroll etc etc. See the blog post here.

Introducing:
“The WordPress Popup System”

Easily and in minutes of installation embed customizable and unblockable DHTML popup windows into your WordPress Blog. These are the same windows as seen here and as new versions are rapidly released (upgrades are free) will become every bit as powerful.

But this is not just a simple one page or post popup window creator, this is a system with many remarkable features. With this plugin you can create as many DHTML popup windows as desired, the settings for each of them are stored automatically in the database and can be called up and changed at any time.

A set of templates provides a starting point, including the now industry standard Aweber and GetResponse optin forms, and many more to come.

The Transparent player: Daisy-chain videos & optin

December 14, 2008 in ADP WordPress Popup Plugin, ADV Transparent Flash Player | No comments

In this post of the transparent flash video player template series
we demonstrate daisy-chaining multiple videos.

Each video is set up with its own options for positioning, scrolling, flashvars etc as normal, but in this case when the first video has finished playing the second is automatically triggered to start, and when that finishes the third is started.

In this case the third “video” is in fact an optin form instead, right in the center of the page.

The Transparent player - Multiple Anchored Template

December 13, 2008 in ADP WordPress Popup Plugin, ADV Transparent Flash Player | No comments

In this post of the transparent flash video player template series
we demonstrate the use of multiple anchors to attach multiple videos to. See this post for the single anchor case.

Each video has been offset (optionally) from the anchor (made visible deliberately here) by varying amounts in x,y just to show the possibilities.

Most importantly, by starting one video and then starting another, the download (streaming) of the first video is stopped, so that only one video is occupying the bandwidth at any one time. This is a totally unique feature of the transparent flash video player.

Then by going back to the first video the streaming will continue, while that of the second will stop. You can check this easily here by watching the progress bar of the player. In this way, any number of videos of any type can be listed and viewed on one page without ever loading the bandwidth with more than one.

(You may need to clear your browser cache to start over if you have already clicked the links)

The first video is also non-transparent, this video player can show any flash content, and now in Version 2.0 can show high-definition h.264 encoded content.

The Transparent player - Single Anchored Template

December 13, 2008 in ADP WordPress Popup Plugin, ADV Transparent Flash Player | 1 comment

In this post of the transparent flash video player template series
we demonstrate the use of an anchor to attach the video to, so that it is always fixed in place, despite not being directly embedded in the post. This anchor allows for an offset in x,y to be specified so that precise positioning can be accomplished.

The anchor takes the form of an id, for example id=”adpAnchor1″ in this example, and can be used in any HTML element, such as a <p>, a <div>, or a table cell etc.

In this example the video shows up automatically, but we could just as easily have a link triggered video instead, as seen in this template if you just stop the video (set to close the dhtml layer as well as the video when stopped in this case) and click the link instead:
