Inserting Media 317
Embed
makes Dreamweaver add an
embed
tag within the
object
tag for the
ActiveX control. If the ActiveX control has a Netscape Navigator plugin
equivalent, the
embed
tag activates the plugin. Dreamweaver assigns the
values you’ve entered as ActiveX properties to their Netscape Navigator
plugin equivalents.
Align
determines how the object is aligned on the page. For a description of each
option, see “Aligning elements” on page 271.
Parameters
opens a dialog box for entering additional parameters to pass to the
ActiveX object. See “Using parameters” on page 319. Many ActiveX controls
respond to special parameters.
Src
defines the data file to be used for a Netscape Navigator plugin if the Embed
option is turned on. If you don’t enter a value, Dreamweaver attempts to
determine the value from the ActiveX properties entered already.
V Space
and
H Space
specify the amount of white space in pixels above, below,
and on both sides of the object.
Base
specifies the URL containing the ActiveX control. Internet Explorer
downloads the ActiveX control from this location if it has not been installed in
the visitor’s system. If you don’t specify a Base parameter and if your visitor doesn’t
already have the relevant ActiveX control installed, the browser can’t display
the ActiveX object.
Alt Img
specifies an image to be displayed if the browser doesn’t support the
object
tag. This option is available only when the Embed option is deselected.
ID
defines the optional ActiveX ID parameter. This parameter is most often used
to pass information between ActiveX controls.
Data
specifies a data file for the ActiveX control to load. Many ActiveX controls,
such as Shockwave and RealPlayer, do not use this parameter.
Borders
specifies the width of the border around the object.
