gotoNetMovie
Syntax
gotoNetMovie
URL
gotoNetMovie (
URL
)
Description
Command; retrieves and plays a new Shockwave movie from an HTTP or FTP server. The current movie continues to run until the new movie is available.
Only URLs are supported as valid parameters. The URL can specify either a file name or a marker within a movie. Relative URLs work if the movie is on an Internet server, but you must include the extension with the file name.
When performing testing on a local disk or network, media must be located in a directory named dswmedia or in a subdirectory within it.
If a gotoNetMovie
operation is in progress and you issue a second gotoNetMovie
command before the first is finished, the second command cancels the first.
Example
In this statement, the URL indicates a Director file name:
gotoNetMovie "http://www.yourserver.com/movies/movie1.dcr"
Example
In this statement, the URL indicates a marker within a file name:
gotoNetMovie "http://www.yourserver.com/movies/buttons.dcr#Contents"
Example
In this statement, gotoNetMovie
is used as a function. The function returns the network ID for the operation.
myNetID = gotoNetMovie ("http://www.yourserver.com/movies/buttons.dcr#Contents")
