Hi
I have two quicktime plugins embedded in a webpage. I want to hide one
and display the other. Then I want to load a movie into the hidden
player. When the first player is finished playing, I hide it, and show
the hidden player.
In IE I do this by setting the z-index of the quicktime objects. This
however do not work in other browsers. Is there a way to stack two
players on top of each other using the z-index with plugins?
I have tried to set the visibility element for other browsers than IE.
In firefox for Win, this works fine. On mac I cannot communicate with
the hidden player. Why?
Which browser on Mac? IE Mac does not understand XML as far as I can
tell (nor does Safari before 1.2 I think) and you seem to be doing
stuff with that in the background.
I can neither communicate with the player if I change its posistion
with javascript.

I tried your page with the following Mac browsers, the video
eventually ran in Firefox though loading seemed very slow and playback
was jerky over a fast ADSL line:
Safari 1.0.3 (OS X 10.2.8), IE 5.2, Opera 8.5, Firefox 1.0.7
Safari 1.0.3 lacks XML support so that causes a lot of errors there,
likely IE 5.2 fails for the same reason.
In Opera I don't get to see the Start button, clicking the stop button
just throws an error. Sometimes I see the broken Quicktime image.
On Windows, Firefox crashed and IE struggled.
Your page has lots of validation errors, in Firefox there was a set of
scrollbars lingering on the right... you have 7 linked script files
plus in-page scripts - sorry, there's too much to track down your issues.
You need to create a very simple test case and post a link to that
(with *short* videos).
