 Then copy & paste into FileMaker Advanced's Edit Custom Function window.

Description:

See comments in function definition.

The function automatically sets padding and border values so that if inserted into a text field which is delivered to a dynamic web page the Video player is appropriately sized and placed with text.

Thus an interface on the FM side can easily insert videos in web news stories, etc.

Note: these functions are not guaranteed or supported by BrianDunning.com. Please contact the individual developer with any questions or problems.

This is my Custom Function and I want to edit it

Discuss:

Has anybody done this for private videos stored on Vimeo? Those urls don't seem to work as well in FileMaker web viewers.
