multiple questions (.asx files)

mattimeo615 · 02-20-2004, 12:00 AM

how do i save the files i play online in .asx format? you can't save target as because it saves a playlist, and the files are inaccesable.

anyone know where an extensive html reference is? (by reference i mean just tags and what they do, not a tutorial)
javascript reference?

i know javasript variables are case sensitive, but is the entire code case sensetive? I hate capitals in the middle of words so it takes my like twice as long to do javascript than html.

how do you put music on a web page? specifically which code is the best?

am i the only one who finds css useless?

how do you change the color of a scroll bar in html? (can you even?)

very random. does anyone know if cowboy bebop originated in US or Japan?

even more random. does anyone know whare to download legal stuff like stupid sound bytes from tv shows and such?

k, those are pretty much all the questions i have right now. thanks everyone

oh and btw. my web page is www.freewebs.com/jeffrocks if anyone cares

this should help out:

.mp3, streaming.
No streaming? probably not good to put big files...
Maybe try flash.

css.... FAR from useless, I would say you are misunderstanding the benefits

color of scroll... seen it done, BUT I think THAT is useless

ummm, ok this was fairly helpful. answered about half of my questions. I still wanna know how to save .asx files to my computer.

download file and change the file ext to .asx
easy as that....

Just kidding

Never heard of .asx files, try searching for ".asx" in a search engine or maybe "save .asx"

good luck

this is what i gathered from a brief search. asx is a streaming media format. it is a simple text file with pointers to the streaming media server. it runs in "real-time" so nothing is saved to you hard disk. you cannot save asx i dont think

apparently it is actually ASF, ASX is just some markup language or something:

Hello!

. I am an amateur web designer I just know the basics and I love linking video files to websites. For along time I have been looking for a forum where ASX files are discussed.
I use ASX files all the time and I hope you guys help me. I do not know much about the topic just a little.

Let's see.

First ASX files are just text files, they are not "media files" and tha't is why they are so light usually 1kb.
ASX files are shortcut to the real media files. (.WMV, .WMA, ASF ... etc). The typical protocol used to stream these media files is Microsoft's MMS (= Microsoft Media Server) .In other words a streaming server not web server.
Now why using a media server?

'cuz you do not want the user to save the media file in his computer.
'cuz you want to know how , when and who watches/listens to your media files
'cuz you wanna use your bandwith in the best way posible.

You cannot save media files from a media server (mms protocol). Media files can only be saved to your computer if they are in web servers (http protocol)

I have lots of asx files that I use to watch my favorite trailers and music videos.

Have fun
