    I have been using Freeway 3.5 Pro for long time. I just upgrade my Freeway to 5 Pro. It gave me more option included Expression Engine Action interaction with Freeway 5 Pro. I just start reading instruction and working on developing my own website. I might ask some more questions relate to design and coding, but right now, I am focus on one thing. My primary presentation will be video on my site. I love Apple’s trailer design. When you click a button and a pop-up screen with video will appear. The background become fade. Is there any coding for sale or freeware out there?

    Thanks

    Check out Lightbox or Thickbox.

    For videos, you’ll probably want to encode them as an FLV - a popular and widely supported format (Youtube, Google Video etc) that allows you to point to a ‘skin file’ for playback controls that you can style however you like.

    Thanks for links, I appreciate it. 😊

    FLV is nice option, but can I have highest quality on FLV? I have heard that Flash 9 should give same equal quality as quicktime with sorenson squeeze. Bandwidth isn’t my major concern, but quality does.

    Facebox is also very nice. Doesn’t fade the background out of the box, but pretty easy to add in.

    Now, I know what I am looking for. Lightbox or thickbox under jQuery script. Many thanks for feedback. I am looking for a script that similar to Apple’s trailer lightbox.
