Exiting Browser Widget

[William Prothero]

Bramanathaswami :

It would be great if there was an example stack for this. I don’t use javascript, so throwing together a javascript to do this would be hard.

In case this is what you are wanting, you can load a youTube video by using the embed code provided by youTube. For example, if you click “share” beneath the youTube video, as displayed on youTube.com, you will see a button you can click on named “Embed”. This is the code you put into a web page to display the video.

For one video, I get:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KIOVw43A-I4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

If I create a web page with this code in it, the youTube video will be displayed. You can put other html or javascript into that web page text, so you can get whatever elements you want to show up and/or execute. I assume I can load the web page code from a file in my local app or create it on the fly in livecode.

Hope this is useful.

Best,
Bill
