Video

Description

The Video control is used to play a video. The video has to be in a specific format, best explained in http://www.diveintohtml5.com/video.html. Generally, H.264+AAC+MP4 will work.

To add video to your app, choose the Video icon in the Toolbar, then position it on the Design Screen. Use the Property Editor to set the properties you need. The video may not appear immediately: it needs time to load.

Properties

Standard properties are supported, plus:

autoplay	Video will start playing as soon as ready.
controls	Controls will be displayed, such as a Play.
loop	Video will start over again when finished.
preload	Video should be loaded when the page loads. Ignored if autoplay is present.
src	The name of the file. For example, http://www.nsbasic.com/videotest.mp4. It should be in the project folder or on a web site.

Methods

pause()	Pause playing the video
play()	Start playing the video

Example (Basic)

Rem Video Example
Function PlayButton_onclick()
  Video1.play()
End Function

Example (JavaScript)

// Video Example

PlayButton.onclick = function() {
  Video1.play();
}

Output

(video plays. Appearance will depend on the device. May take over the full screen.)
