Hello Kevin,

As I have already mentioned in my previous emails I want to be able to
handle mouse events in much the same way as windows media player handles
them on a windows box. e.g., mouse move, mouse up/down and obtaining the
x-y coords of the mouse. Whilst I don't know the exact HTML syntax here
are some examples extracted from the JavaScript test page:
http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/testing/testvid.html

<embed
	id=3D"MyMediaPlayer"
	type=3D"application/x-mplayer2"=20
	width=3D"400"
	height=3D"300"
	autostart=3D"0"
	filename=3D"http://www.mysite.com/mymedia.wmv"
	onMediaComplete=3D"ChangeToNextPage();">


<script LANGUAGE=3D"JavaScript" type=3D"text/javascript" FOR=3D"
MyMediaPlayer" EVENT=3D"Click(nButton, nX, nY)"><!--
	// Is it a left click?
	if (nButton !=3D 1) {
		// Not a left click
		// we could display a custom DHTML menu?
		return;
	}
=09
	// Did we click on our interesting area?
	if ((nX >=3D 0) && (nX <=3D 200)) {
		// Clicked on left hand side
		// display some stuff on left
	}
	else {
		// display stuff at bottom (or right).
		//TODO: Modify content of 2nd and 3rd DIV object also
change content of IFRAME.
	}
//--></script>

<script LANGUAGE=3D"JavaScript" type=3D"text/javascript" FOR=3D"
MyMediaPlayer" EVENT=3D"MouseMove(nButton, nX, nY)"><!-
	// Are moving over the bottom ?
	if ((nY >=3D 150) && (nY <=3D 300)) {
		// Mouse is over the bottom...
		// Is the user holding the left button down too?
		if (nButton & 1) {
			// Left button is down.
			// TODO: use mouse position to change content of
First DIV object
		}
	}
	else {
		//TODO: Just change a graphic and so the user knows
moving
		// the mouse down a bit will do something.
	}

//--></script>

Perhaps refer to the Windows Media Player SDK to make the API similar?
Here are a few interesting links:

My ultimate aim is to create a web page for Internet Explorer and
Windows Media Player and have it work in Netscape / MPlayer on Linux...
What are the possibilities? Hopefully in this way Linux / Unix users
could be get some great content...  What do you think???

Thanks again,
Dean.

Dean,

I don't see that any of them would be that difficult to implement GTK
has all=20
the events we need.

Now we just need to specify how it would work.

Send me some examples of how want to use it. And then I can tell you if
I can=20
do it, or what changes I would recommend.

If you would like to sponsor this that would be nice too.. (shameless
plug),=20
but it is not mandatory.=20
