Hi
I have a flash video control on a page running in a window, set to autplay on page load.
This works fine, and starts when the window is opened.

I order to ensure the media does not keep playing when the window is closed I have this
script (from Telerik):
<script type="text/javascript">    
    function ShowWindow(oWnd) {    
        oWnd.add_close(OnClientClose); //set a function to be called when RadWindow is closed     
    }    
    function OnClientClose(oWnd) {    
        oWnd.setUrl("about:blank"); // Sets url to blank     
    }         
</script> 

However this also seems to ensure that the media does not play if the window is called again,
unless the parent page is refreshed by the visitor.

How can I get round this?

Thanks

Clive

Hi Clive,

Try setting the DestroyOnClose property of RadWindow to "True" rather than setting the url to blank, and see whether it is working fine as expected.

Hi Shinu

I tried that but it prevented the window re-opening at all.

I found a solution though:
- I set the url on close to be the same as that on opening
- set the video to not autoplay:
- Set the animation to none, so that you can't see a short flash as the movie is reset before 
the transition was complete.

That's it

Clive
