I have spent countless hours trying to find this code. You do not know how much it would mean to me if someone could help me out here. I've been to microsoft.com, Google, HTML chats, tech forums and everything with no luck!

What I'm trying to do is embed a WMV file into my site. However, I want a small clip (advertisement) to play BEFORE the actual WMV file. I want this small clip to play, then after it finishes you have to click the video file and then it will play the actual WMV file. You can see an exact example of what I want here: http://www.digitaltutors.com/digital_tutors/video.php?v=211

I asked the webmaster how he accomplished this and he gave me the code. But I can't use the code because it's for Quicktime movies and not WMV files. If someone could please help me out here I would appreciate it so much!

Thanks.

You must not have looked too hard. Here are many sites about that.

I looked very hard. Maybe I'm just an idiot then, because I spent atleast 5 hours doing nothing but search, search, search. And even after another hour of searching on the link you gave me I haven't found anything relative to what I need. I understand how to embed videos (which is what all those links on gahooyoogle.com was producing) I am wanting an embeded clip to play then you have to click the clip (I guess you could think of it as a hotspot for the whole frame) to play another video file (still embedded, not a pop up window directing to a URL, another WMV file) <- As show on the Digital Tutors site.

Does that clear things up? Or did that link you give me actually tell me how to accomplish this here, but I somehow managed to look over it?

Thanks again.
