In the client interface of INTERDUBS movies can be played via the play in page method. Clients like this since they do not need to navigate to a different page to watch the content that you are showing them.


This can be configured on two levels.

Level 1 configuration for play on page

You can pick from three modes of overlay:

normal background

This is the default. The background darkens, but is still visible.

black background

The background is solid black when the clip plays. Nothing of the underlying page is visible

gray background

Setting the play on page background gray configuration will display clips on a solid gray background.

Level 2 configuration for play on page

Alternatively you can download the lightwindow toolbox onto a server of your choice, modify it to your liking and use this instead. In order to do so, you will need to point the variable base URL for lightwindow script to your server location. It will add the following paths:


css/lightwindow2.css
javascript/prototype.js
javascript/scriptaculous.js?load=effects

and one of three possibilities reflection the overlay mode:

javascript/lightwindow-black.js
javascript/lightwindow-gray.js
javascript/lightwindow.js

See above for an explaination of these background modes.


Please get in touch if you need further assistance with this.

We have implemented this with great success for many of our clients to also give them full control over this part of their look and feel.
