How to Embed Video Without ActiveX

Create HTML Code
1. Open Notepad.
2. Paste this code in a new HTML document:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN' 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd'><html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><head><title>Add JavaScript code below this title</title></head><body><input id='videoButton' type='button' value='Play Video'/><div id='videoBlock' /></body></html>This creates a button and an empty 'div' block element. The block element's ID is 'videoBlock.' The button's ID is 'videoButton.' The 'videoBlock' element is a placeholder for the video. JavaScript code will place a video there when you click the button.
3. Add the following code below the document's '<title>' section:<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>var videoName = 'banner.swf';var videoHeight = '500';var videoWidth = '400';var testButton = 'videoButton';</script>This initializes the variables that determine the video player's height and width. The height and width in this example are 500 pixels and 400 pixels. You can set these values to anything you like. The code also sets the name of the video. Replace 'xyz.swf' with the name of any Flash video on your hard drive. If the video is on the Web, replace 'xyz.swf' with the video's URL.
4. Add this line of code below the code in the previous step:<script src='VideoCode.js' type='text/javascript'></script>This statement grabs an external JavaScript file named 'VideoCode.js' and makes it available in the current HTML page. That external JavaScript function contains the code that creates the video player.
5. Press 'Ctrl+S' to open the 'File Save' window, and type 'Video_Test.html' in the 'File Name' text box. Click 'Save' to save the document. Notepad will save it as an HTML file.
Create JavaScript Code
6. Click 'File' and select 'New.' Notepad will create a new document.
7. Paste the following JavaScript code into the document:function playVideo() {var videoObject = document.getElementById('videoBlock');videoObject.innerHTML = '<OBJECT classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000'' +' codebase='http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0' WIDTH='' + videoWidth + ''' +'HEIGHT='' + videoHeight + ''' + 'id='myVideo'> ' +'<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE='' + videoName + ''' + '><PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high><PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF>' +'<EMBED href='/support/flash/ts/documents/test1.swf' quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH='550' HEIGHT='400' ' +'NAME='' + videoName + ''' +'ALIGN='' TYPE='application/x-shockwave-flash' PLUGINSPAGE='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer'></EMBED></OBJECT> ';}// WINDOW UNLOAD FUNCTIONwindow.onload = function () {objButton = document.getElementById(testButton);if (objButton.addEventListener)objButton.addEventListener('click', function () { playVideo()} , false);elseobjButton.attachEvent('onclick', function () { playVideo()} );}The function named 'playVideo' creates an object tag that embeds a video into a Web page. This function uses the values for height, width and movie name set in the previous HTML document.The window.onload function sets up a button's click event. It uses the value for the button ID set in the previous HTML document. The click event causes a button click to run the playVideo function.
8. Click 'FIle' and select 'Save As' to open the 'Save As' window.
9. Type 'VideoCode.js' in the 'File Name' text box and click 'Save.' Notepad will save this as a JavaScript file. This is the file referenced in the previous HTML document.
10. Press 'Ctrl+E' to open Windows Explorer. Locate the HTML file that you saved.
11. Double-click the file. You will see the button that you placed on the page.
12. Click the button. The click event will fire, and the browser will execute the 'playVideo' function defined in the 'VideoCode.js' file. This causes the video to appear and begin playing.

How to Install ActiveX for Java Plug

1. Go to the Java website. On their download page, you will find a list of different operating systems. Select your operating system to start the download process for Java. You should have this downloaded first before installing ActiveX controls in order to speed up the process.
2. Find a webpage that requires a Java plug-in. For example, game sites like Pogo.com uses an ActiveX control for Java plug-in. Once you land on this page, you will receive a security message at the top of your web browser. The message will indicate that an ActiveX control is required to use the Java plug-in before the webpage can properly load.
3. Check the signature of the ActiveX control security message. It should be signed by Sun Microsystems. It should also be backed by a Class 3 security certificate. Once you verify this information, you can proceed.
4. Click the 'OK' button on the security message to permit the installation of the ActiveX control for the Java plug-in. The web browser will retrieve the download from the Sun website and automatically install them. Once initially installed, you will not be required to reinstall the ActiveX control the next time that you encounter a website that uses a Java plug-in.

How to Repair Window Frame Flashing

1. Remove the old window from the window frame per the manufacturer's instructions. Remove any screws or nails from the trim. Pry the trim off with a pry bar.
2. Remove any other nails and screws around the window, if necessary. Peel back the old flashing and remove it from the window if necessary. Remove the old window out of the window hole. In some cases, you may have to peel back the siding slightly to remove the window.
3. Remove the pan flashing if the leak is occurring around the bottom of the window. Use the old piece of pan flashing as a guide. Cut a new piece of pan flashing with a utility knife. Install the pan flashing where the old pan flashing was. Peel the back of the pan flashing off slowly as you install it. The bottom piece should overlap the window jamb by at least a few inches and should run over the edge of the outside sill by at least an inch or two.
4. Measure the height of the window. Add approximately 6 to 12 inches to the measurement. Cut flashing to length for both sides of the window with a utility knife. Apply flashing to the sides of the window. Overlap the jamb a few inches on each side. Both the bottom and top of the membrane should run past the bottom and top of the window. Try to extend the top and bottom of the flashing at least 3 to 4 inches longer than the window if possible. This precaution will help keep water from getting in the window. Use the utility knife to remove any excess.
5. Measure the inside, bottom corners of the window. Cut a piece of flashing membrane to fit into each corner. Apply the flashing in each corner over the seam where the larger pieces of flashing meet. The flashing patches should overlap the other pieces. This process will help reduce the chance of leakage.
6. Measure the width of the window. Add 6 to 12 inches to the measurement. Cut a piece of flashing to length using a utility knife. Apply the flashing to the top of the window. The flashing should overlap both sides. Cut the flashing in the corners. Fold the membrane over until it sticks to the inside of the window frame.
7. Install the window per the manufacturer's instructions.

How to Fix Search Companion in Windows

1. Login as Administrator to Windows. You can also login with any username that has computer admin privileges.
2. Click 'Start' and then 'Run.' Execute these strings in the 'Run' box: 'regsvr32 /i %windir%\srchasst\srchui.dll' (without the parentheses) and then 'regsvr32 %windir%\system32\jscript.dll' again without parentheses. You should see the message 'DllRegisterServer in <filename.dll> succeeded for each DLL registered, so two in total.

Search Companion is now reinstalled and should operate correctly.
