Video Object

The video object allows you display a video file (such as an AVI, MPEG, or WMV) on the page or dialog. This can be very useful when you want to show training videos, product previews or just cool moving graphics as part of your application without having to use another program to display them. The object contains a built-in skinable control panel for controlling the video and an extensive action set if you require the video's playback to be controlled internally.

The video object is compatible with the following video formats:

.asf, .asx, .wax, .wmv, .wvx, .wmp, .wmx, .avi, .mpg, .mpeg, .m1v, .mpa, .mpe, .mpv2

Video Object Requirements

Windows XP
Pentium 120 MHz
32 MB RAM
DirectX 7 or greater
Internet Explorer 4.0 or newer

Note: Requirements may vary according to the needs of your project. For example, a faster system may be required to view large videos at high bitrates, or your project may require a specific version of the Flash player, or the presence of a specific video codec.

Tip: You can add a video object by either dragging a video file onto the page or dialog, or choosing Object > Video from the menu.
