• Warren LaFrance Jr Popup modal frame from web gadget

  Hi, I've tried to build a web gadget for Spaces. I'd like to implement a behaviour like when I click Customize while editing my spaces: it will popup, let's say a MODAL FRAME. And this frame can render a new URL inside it like another windows of the browser. And this should be cross-browser compatible! I have used iframe and make it invisible at the first time. If this is the right way, where should I append this iframe Is there anyway to do that Thanks, Bao Nguyen Thanks. This maybe a workaround solution. Is there any other solution for the problem like I said: not popup a new window, I mean same with clicking Customize link and popup a windows for changing Themes, Layout... Is it done this way Thanks, Bao ...Show All

• hrd2hndl67 user input

  Im looking for a list of user inputs events like 0xFA for play, etc. Thanks in advance. Many thanks! Unfortunately I don't have the spec, only sonic white papers, samples and the hd dvd programming guide that comes with the jumpstart package. I've only had success using values in script to determine what key was pressed like menu is 0xCE (or 206). So I guess yes the key codes, VK_MENU, etc., are only used in markup. But if you want just add code like: var VK_MENU=0xCE; in the script and you can still use key codes. What is the difference in terms of use, between the User Input Event Virtual Key Codes and Values For example, are the Ke ...Show All

• MechiF Need Help Getting Started

  hi. i have a project that requires that we take a video, break it apart into images/per each frame, allow the user to edit the video by rearranging the images, and then resequence the video according to the new image arrangement. i know that SGI's dMedia tools does exactly this but this is a VB.NET application and we are trying to find a Microsoft product that allows us to do this. Can somebody kindly point me in the right direction i thank you.

• SeanC menu key

  Hello, How can I hide a div when the menu key is pressed thanks. Thanks, I noticed the alt thing its strange it also focuses the ihdsim's menu (File, Preferences, etc.) Hope a future version of the sim will fix this. Besides that it would be nice if MS would just let people download ihdsim.exe when a new version is released instead of the need for installing the whole jumpstart package again. But hey it's free :) iHD is very nice to play with, it's funny that it also uses a combination of Jscript and XML just like Sony's UMD video does, I would expect Blu-ray to have this but instead they choose java for it.     For the Media Remote/IR ...Show All

• Dark Pontiac problem uploading gadget

  I have a simple gadget I am trying to upload and get the following message: Hello, We're sorry but we won't be able to host your submission of CountDownTimer on the Windows Live Gallery website. There was a problem and we need to ask you to resubmit it. We hope you'll give it another shot - just modify your submission, send it back to us, and we'll take another look.

If anyone has any suggestions they would be welcome. Let me know what else you need to know to help me get past this issue. ...Show All

• Scott_P video zoom

  I'm working on a small function that zooms the video (with optional panning) but using the code below doesn't seem to work, any tips addEventListener("controller_key_down",keyPressed,true); function keyPressed(evt) { Player.video.main.changeLayout(0,0,Player.createVideoScale(1,2),0,0,1920,1080,"00:00:00:00"); } The above code should have changed the video on any key press. Not yet, I had a deadline so not much time to experiment. Giving it another try today, am going for that zoom and pan effect. Thanks I changed it to this now: addEventListener("controller_key_down",keyPressed,false); function keyPressed(evt) { Pl ...Show All

• Weavor About the access data across the domain---Using Web.Network.CreateRequest API???

  Hi All,   In my gadget developing process, I have to consume web service from a different domain for gadget.start.com or live.com.   so I met the issue, when my gadget published in third-party, and user want to use it, he has to change IE security level and set 'access data across domain' enable!   Through the study, I found  this restriction just come out when I use   Web.Network.Type.XMLPost to invoke webservice and get response. For other request sending type(XML,XMLGet), it needn't change IE settings. So I hope Some guys can give me some advice on solution or more explaination, I think  a gadget always pop up access denied or ask user to dro ...Show All

  Using either knownFolder or knownFolderPath in the following code just produces the error "automation server can't create object". Has anyone managed to use either of these functions successfully <html> <head> <script language="javascript"> try{ var p = System.Shell.knownFolderPath("My Documents"); } catch(err) {System.Debug.outputString(err.name+" - "+err.message)} </script> </head> <body style="width:100px; height:100px; margin:0px;"> </body> </html> Andy, Thank you for the suggestions.

• Darlek Video Size

  As I see current version of the ihd doesn't support vido resizing. I.E. I can not place menu items at the left side of the screen and video at the right side of the screen. Is it planned to be implemented in future Yes it does: Player.mainVideo.changeLayout( x,y,scale,cropx,cropy,croph,cropw, time) and its subVideo friend. My bad: here is some real code I found which scales subvideo to the lower right of the screen, over 1 second (a kind of un-zoom): // get aperture size var maxx = Player.video.main.cropWidth; var maxy = Player.video.main.cropHeight; Player.video.sub.alpha = 255; var scale = Player.createVideoScale(1,2); var duration = "00:00:01:00"; Player.video.sub.ch ...Show All

You could create a scheduled event near the end of the video that your app responds to by doing an in-clip jump to 00:00:00:00 or something, then you would "effectively" loop, but your title wouldn't actually end.

• ProblemQueen "Access is Deined" error on IE7, but works fine on IE6

  My gadget needs to contact two URLs to retrieve XML content (not SOAP, just URLs that return XML). The first one is internal URL (not accessible from public) and I used {proxy:"none"} when creating network request; the second URL is public and I used {proxy:"generic"}. The gadgets is uploaded onlto galleryd.live-int.com, During test, everything seems fine when I use IE6 on an internal PC (of course with the trusted site and cross-domain settings changed). However, when I switch to an IE7 (on Vista) internal machine, even after changing the settings, it kept giving "Access is denied" error. I also tried adding the regedit trick found on the old forum, but it didn't help: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\M ...Show All
