Frontpage 2002-activemovie-sound plays but no video- help

I am trying to include streaming video into one of my web pages. I have added the Activemovie control to the page, then I converted the video to .wmv and palced a .wvx tag inside of my html code. When I post the page or even preview it, the player begins to play the file. The sound plays and the status bar moves, but there is no video. If I set its height manually, the windows media player animation plays throughout the length of the video. If I don't set the height, the video screen disappears when the video begins to play. I have gone in and changed all sorts of parameter settings. Nothing works. Please help.

You can try using this code:
<OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer1" width=350 height=250

classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"

codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,5,715"

standby="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components..."

type="application/x-oleobject">

<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="405.wmv">
<PARAM NAME="animationatStart" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="transparentatStart" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="autoStart" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="showControls" VALUE="true">
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" SRC="405.wmv" name="MediaPlayer1" width="350" height="250" AutoStart="true"></OBJECT>

(Make sure you change the source in both places.)

I have implemented your code. Unfortunately, it still does the same thing. The sound plays fine, but the only thing playing on the video screen is the "windows media" animation. I just need to know how to make video appear in the window of the player. I assumed it would appear by default, but this is not the case. I know that the .wmv file contains video info since it plays on my computer when I run it from the C:\ drive and also when I make it available for download from the page itself. If you have any idea why it plays the sound without video please help. I have tried changing the "widowlessvideo" parameter. Thanks.

Above, I meant to specify that it only cuts out the video window when it is embedded.

Are you still having a problem with this? If so - could you provide the URL?

Thanks!
