Thanks for the advice. Actually just spoke with the producer, and that’s what we’re looking into. I like avoiding frustration.

Cheers…

Table width should be okay to set, here’s the entry at the w3c that should tell you everything you need to know:

You ought to be able to just drop the height attribute altogether and simply allow the table contents to dictate the height.

I hadn’t thought of aligning the image to the bottom, that helps point me in the right direction I think. I’m not sure I understand how you would have that background color not stretch all the way across the div though. I’ve heard CSS3 will support multiple BG images…

Frontpage designs do some screwy things if you’re not viewing them in IE. Firefox is jumbling your page too. If you’re using 2003 I believe you can generate standards compliant code, but I’m not sure. Part of the issue may be the table height attribute FP seems to be adding to your code. Tables no longer have this attribute, so some of what you’re seeing outside of IE may be due to this.

Hey Jeff,

It sounds like you’re talking about a video player for your FLV’s that will play them in order, one after another, and possibly have a message (the jpeg you mentioned) appear in between the clips while they’re buffering. If you’re not up to or interested in diving into Flash/ActionScript at the moment, check out http://www.jeroenwijering.com. He’s got a pretty great FLV player over there.

Hope this helps,

Hi Nelson,

You might want to check out ourmedia.org, I haven’t used them, but it seems like they don’t have limits on file sizes or bandwidth. I believe you can embed video into your own site as well. I’m pretty sure all content on their site is progressive download though, which could be a drawback for you with bigger files like that. Hope this helps.

Incidentally, I think I’m right across the street from you… aren’t you over at WFAE?

Cheers,

Thanks for the input. I was sort of considering offering something much simpler than all of that, though. The still image animation might not be a bad route. 100 bucks for a 3d animation sounds terrible, that’s for sure.

Thanks for the help… the work area tip will definitely help. I’m used to my little green and red tick marks in Combustion, good to know I can do the same thing in AE.
