-
-
- KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH WORKAROUNDS:
-
- - Functionality may vary when running in anything other than
- 8 bit screen depth (256 colors).
- Workaround: Run in 8 bit screen depth (256 colors).
- - If the Disk Cache is set to 0 (zero) size, movies will
- not play.
- - Netscape may crash if the Disk Cache is not set high enough.
- Workaround: Set Disk Cache to at least 5000k
- - Resizing the Netscape window while a movie is playing may
- result in orphaned movies that continue to play and will
- crash when you quit.
- Workaround: Avoid resizing a Netscape window while a
- movie is playing. You may end up with an unattached movie
- that floats and will cause a crash when you quit the Navigator.
-
- KNOWN PROBLEMS WITHOUT WORKAROUNDS:
-
- - Shutting down or restarting the computer while a movie
- is playing will crash Netscape.

- AUTHORS NOTES:
-
- 1. "NetAbort" does not actually stop the Navigator from delivering the current stream.
- However, the Plug-In ignores the rest of the data the Navigator downloads.
-
- 2. Attempting to embed the same Director movie multiple times in an HTML page does not work.
- You must make copies of the original movie for each instance.
-
- 3. The "GotoNetMovie" Lingo command now accepts an anchor in the URL. This anchor is
- the name of a marker in the score of the movie referenced by the URL.
- Example:
-
- GotoNetMovie "http://somewhere.com/somemovie.dcr#mymarker"
-
- This will make the movie, "somemovie.dcr" start playing on the frame marked, "mymarker".
