Notes

Windows uses the Windows Movie Player to play movies and Macintosh uses the QuickTime player. Neither player is currently available on Linux, so the MoviePlayer is not supported.

The Controller property dictates how the QuickTime movies controls (if any) will be displayed. Passing 0 (zero) means that there will be no user controls available. Passing 1 means that a movie icon or badge will be displayed in the lower left corner of the movie area instead of the controller. When this badge is clicked by the user, the badge disappears and the regular QuickTime movie controls appear at the bottom of the movie frame. Passing 2 displays the regular QuickTime movie controls.

Examples

This example sets the QuickTime movie "myHomeMovie" as the movie to be played.

MoviePlayer1.movie=myHomeMovie

This example loads a QuickTime movie called "MyMovie" from the current directory (folder) into MoviePlayer1 and plays it.

Dim f As FolderItem
f= GetFolderItem("MyMovie")
MoviePlayer1.Speaker= True
MoviePlayer1.HasStep= False
MoviePlayer1.movie=f.OpenAsMovie
MoviePlayer1.play

If you added the movie to your project, you can assign it to the movie property with only one line of code:

MoviePlayer1.movie=MyMovie

Using object binding, you can add pushbuttons that play or stop the movie. See the section on the MoviePlayer control in the User's Guide.
