Spring Open

This feature is an advanced feature which allows you to save the movie at one size (usually a smaller “thumb-nail” view), in any position and at any frame and have it “spring open” to its normal size, to a new position and play from the beginning of the movie.

To activate this feature, check the box labeled “Spring Open” in the movie info box.  Then save the page with the movie at any size, in any position and at any frame.  This is how the movie will be displayed when the page is opened.  When the user clicks on the movie in the ProViewer, it will spring to its normal size and play from the beginning.  When finished playing, the movie will return to the saved size, position and frame.

You may also choose a position at which you would like the movie to open.  In the movie info box, type in the top, left coordinates (in pixels) at which you would like the movie to open.  If these coordinates are left at (0,0), the movie will spring open centered on its saved position.  

The movie always opens to the size at which it was created.

You can test the “spring open” function by clicking on the movie while holding down the command key. 

NOTE: You can also set the spring open position by moving the movie to the position at which you want it to open and clicking on the movie while holding down the option and command keys. (See Command Key.)
