gotoNetMovie

Usage

gotoNetMovie URL
gotoNetMovie (URL)

Description

Command; retrieves and plays a new movie with Shockwave content from an HTTP or FTP server. The current movie continues to run until the new movie is available.

Only URLs are supported as valid parameters. The URL can specify either a filename or a marker within a movie. Relative URLs work if the movie is on an Internet server, but you must include the extension with the filename.

When performing testing on a local disk or network, media must be located in a directory named dswmedia.

If a gotoNetMovie operation is in progress and you issue a second gotoNetMovie command before the first is finished, the second command cancels the first.

Parameters

URL Required. Specifies the URL of the Shockwave content to play.

Example

In this statement, the URL indicates a marker within a filename:

gotoNetMovie "http://www.yourserver.com/movies/buttons.dcr#Contents"
