WMPlayer at web page: error loading object

#1 07-20-2007, 08:10 PM

I'm using the example at page
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b/279022/en-us and I only getting
the error "can not create object".

Current system is:
Windows XP 5.1.2600
Service Pack 2.0
WMPlayer 11.0.5721.5145
IExplorer 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr

Thanks, yours, Daniel

========================
The code is this:

<html>
<body>

<SCRIPT>

var WMP7;

if(window.ActiveXObject)
{
WMP7 = new ActiveXObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7");
alert("window.ActiveXObject:"+WMP7);
}
else if (window.GeckoActiveXObject)
{
WMP7 = new GeckoActiveXObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7");
alert('window.GeckoActiveXObject:'+WMP7);
}
else {
alert('ops! nenhum objeto foi criado!');

}

// Windows Media Player 7 Code
if ( WMP7 )
{
alert ('WMP 7<p>');
document.write ('<OBJECT ID=MediaPlayer ');
document.write (' CLASSID=CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6');
document.write (' standby="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player

document.write ('</OBJECT>');
}

// Windows Media Player 6.4 Code

document.write ('<OBJECT ID=MediaPlayer ');
document.write ('CLASSID=CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95 ');

It's probably redundant to do this. Any windows system apart from
early windows 95 machines is likely to have WMP7 or later on it.

I don't think many of those are knocking about, according to our
weblogs, and even if they are, is it a business requirement that you
support machines having *only* WMP6.4 on them ?

If not, just write out the WMP7+ embedding code.

Neil, thanks very much for answering, but the question is not about version
but to what is happening that the code does not work.

There is sometimes a problem at IExplorer to create the WMP object.
I didn't find solutions or information at KBase nor at internet.
IExplorer is not good at showing help screens at javascript failures.

Then I ask again: why is IE failing to create the object?
Look that WMP is working without problems. Is there some politic privacy
secutiry option?

Well, thanks anyway.
Yours, Daniel

Not really - ActiveX controls can be disabled in the browser at the
users option - as can javascript. If you have Javascript available in
the browser, the best way is to use try... catch blocks around the
code to check for player object instantiation.

That would require javascript 1.2 and later - current browsers have at
least Javascript 1.5 as far as I can tell.

If you're unable to bring up the player, fallback to a link to the
content, and make it unambiguous what player is required to play the
content - if it's MP3 audio it doesn't really *mateter* which player
plays it, if it's WMA or WMV then you usually need WMP installed.

Cheers - Neil
