Setting up QuickTime plug-ins

The default settings for the Basic, More, and Attribs tabs for the QuickTime plug-in rarely need to be changed; however, for more information on these tabs, see Setting up plug-ins.

To set up the QuickTime tab for a plug-in:

1 Click the QuickTime tab in the Plug-in Inspector.

2 Select Show Controller to show playback controls.

3 Select BGColor, and specify a background color by dragging a color from the Color palette preview pane to the color field in the Plug-in Inspector.

4 Select Cache to enable caching through the browser when the movie is played back.

5 Type a value in the Volume text box to set an audio volume. The value must be an integer from 0 (mute) to 100 (full volume).

6 Select Autoplay to play the movie automatically when the page opens.

7 Select Loop to play the movie in an endless loop.

8 Select Palindrome to play the move in a loop from beginning to end and then from end to beginning.

9 Select Play Every Frame to play all frames of the movie. (With QuickTime movies, Play Every Frame may cause playback problems.)

10 Select Link, and click the Browse button () to reference a plug-in file, or drag from the Point and Shoot button ().

11 If Link is selected, choose -self from the Target pop-up menu to ensure that the poster appears in the Movie Viewer.

12 Click Open Movie to preview the movie in the QT Movie Viewer.
