The following script types are supported by Microsoft Windows Media Player.
| Script type | Function |
|---|---|
| URL | The player sends the specified URL to the browser for display to the user. If you are using an embedded player control, you can add a specific frame reference to the URL by using the &&framename syntax. |
| FILENAME | A URL to another media file to be played. |
| TEXT | A text string that is displayed in the captions area of the media player. This type supports standard HTML formatting, so the text can be formatted as you wish. An example of use is closed captioning. |
| EVENT | The name of an event that is to occur. The EVENT type supports customization for your own uses. The code for the specified event must be defined in the .asx file for the stream in order for the player to perform the specified event. An example of use is ad insertion. |
| OPENEVENT | This script precedes the actual EVENT. The OPENEVENT allows the players to pre-buffer the content so that when the event occurs the switch between streams appears close to seamless. |
