QuickTime plug-in options


    When you select a QuickTime object, the QuickTime tab of the Plug-in Inspector offers the following options:

    Show Controller

    Shows playback controls.

    BGColor

    Displays a background color you specify in the color field. For more information, see Using color.

    Cache

    Enables caching through the browser when the movie is played back.

    Volume

    Sets the audio volume. Enter a value from 0 (mute) to 100 (full volume).

    Autoplay

    Plays the movie automatically when the page opens.

    Scale

    Resizes the movie. Enter one of the following values:

    • Tofit to scale the movie to the size of the embedded player window.
    • Aspect to scale the movie to the size of the embedded window but maintain aspect ratio.
    • A number to scale the movie by a specific percentage. For example, .5 scales the movie to 50%, and 1.5 scales the movie to 150%.

    Loop

    Plays the movie in an endless loop.

    Palindrome

    Plays the movie in a loop from beginning to end and then from end to beginning.

    Play Every Frame

    Plays all frames of the movie even if it's necessary to play at a slower rate to do so. This attribute is useful to play simple animations. (Selecting this attribute will turn off all audio tracks in the movie.)

    Don't Flatten

    Maintains references to movie assets, rather than flattening them into the movie file.

    Auto HREF

    Immediately loads any URL specified in the HREF parameter, without waiting for a mouse click.

    Enable JavaScript

    Enables JavaScript functions to control movies.

    Kiosk Mode

    Disables Save commands, including drag and drop functionality.

    Link

    Provides a link to another page or movie when the movie is clicked.

    Target

    Specifies the HTML frame targeted by the Link attribute. If a target isn't specified, links open in the same frame as the current movie. In addition to standard target options such as _self and _top, two QuickTime-specific options exist:

    • QuickTime PlugIn (myself) replaces the QuickTime movie currently playing. This option is useful for poster movies (still frames that link to full movie files).
    • QuickTime PlugIn (quicktimeplayer) starts a QuickTime movie in the QuickTime Player instead of the browser.

    Save Embed Tags

    Applies the current plug-in settings to another movie started via the Link, Hotspots, or QTNext options.

    Allow Embed Tags Overrides

    Enables plug-in settings to be overridden by user preferences or settings embedded in subsequently loaded movies.

    Tags

    From the Tags menu, choose a tag to access additional options for that tag. For more information, see QuickTime tag options.

    Open Movie

    Previews the movie in the QT Movie Viewer.
