Re: Script commands / defaultFrame / WMP10 / Firefox

Wayne,

Ok, I just went back and read your original post - you are using framesets.
So, instead I'm a little confused as to what you are trying to do. You are
trying to send embedded script commands to the player? And then have the
player update the frames with the new sources?

I wouldn't trust the embedded media player to do this for you. WMP10 seems
to have done some goofy things in their update. I've heard of some problems
with WMP10 not passing query strings... it may be a problem with script
commands too. I would set up event handlers using javascript to capture
those script events and update the frames that way.

Thanks,
Bill
