Quicktime videos in IWP

Featured Replies

I've succeeded in getting quicktime videos to play using IWP via a "goto field" script step. However, now I'm running into a new issue. Once the video has started playing none of the buttons on the layout work until the video has completely loaded. If you can picture it, the video is playing and the progress bar is, well, progressing, as it buffers the entire video. As soon as the entire video has loaded all my buttons work again. Is there anyway to get around this. Maybe some kind of halt command on the video that would allow the user use the layout buttons again. Some of the videos are quite large and could result in the user having to wait several minutes (depending on their internet speed) before they would be able to navigate away from the page. Thanks in advance!

Just a thought, but have you played with the order that the objects are placed (eg front to back) on the layout? so things like buttons are rendered first?

Please could explain exactly how you got Quicktime working with IWP please?

I placed the quicktime videos in the 'Web' folder of Filemaker on the host computer. Then I inserted those videos into container fields in the display layout. Finally, a "go to field" step in the script that navigates to that layout makes the video start playing when the user views it.
