How to Embed ASX
One way to add interest to your website is to embed streaming video. There are a variety of video formats you can use on your site, including ASX (Advanced Stream Redirector). To embed an ASX video file, your Web hosting provider must support the usage of HTML code. You can code your video to start automatically or manually. With an automatic start, the video activates immediately upon page launch. With a manual start, the video does not play until your site visitor clicks the “Play” button.

Log in to your Web hosting “Control Panel.” Select “File Directory” and “Upload.” Browse your computer files to locate and upload the ASX video file to your Web hosting server. If your Web hosting provider does not support the ASX file format, upload the file to a third-party file hosting site that does. An example of such sites include VideoBam, YourFileLink, zShare and Mozy.
