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.

Our most recent release is the WordPress Plugin for DHTML popupssee here.

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 and Exit Popups with a powerful lightbox effect 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.

You can embed Aweber and GetResponse optin forms, videos (including YouTube, Transparent (pro-mode) Flash etc), images and any content desired.

Single or multiple image thumbnails embedded into websites and blogs need to be expanded into a larger image when clicked or on mouseover. In this post the simplest example is shown – mouse over the thumbnail below for a larger view in a DHTML popup.

Josh Anderson is the expert in this, and all things web video related. He offers a very low cost package here which is packed with information.

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 last video is also non-transparent, this video player can show any flash content, You-Tube content and custom content and now in Version 3.0 can show high-definition h.264 encoded content.

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:
