I know how to embed media player to a web page using the code below. But, it
shows the usual default skin. How can I embed a different skin that already
comes with the media player (like "TDK Digital Mixmaster" skin or "windows
classic" skins that are options within the media player). Thanks for any
info... Koz

I'm also interested in using a different skin in a player embedded in a web
page. I'm not a programmer, so I decided I can't add a different skin. The
skin for an embedded player on a web aite downloads from Microsoft, I think.
It's the same for all web sites. Correct?

You can see the player I made at http://www.interscienceproductions.com

You could use an ASX file to place a web page from your server with new
images inside of a stand alone player, however. So you can dress up the
screen of a stand alone Windows Media Player, and you can let the video play
within the web page image in the player. You could also tell your users
which skin they should choose for the stand alone player on their computer.

You can't use a Windows Media Player Skin in a Web page. You must use HTML
and JScript.
