Windows logo on Media Player

[Schrock, Glenn L..]

I used the information that Chris Bell posted and I was able to set the
extAnimationAtStart value of the MediaPlayer to false, yet the animation
still occurs even with a false value. If anyone has additional information
I'd appreciate it, because I know my customers won't want to see that
windows logo every time they play a video. Thanks.

Glenn,

Hopefully you read my follow up post on 2/25/2000 that says you have to set
the property of the player that is inside the group if you're using the
Universal Media Player. Here's a brief recap:

Double click the Universal Media Player group and make sure that you have
the mediaPlayer selected. Once you have the Windows Media Player selected,
you can set the property by using the command window like this:

extAnimationAtStart of selection = false

I think that should do it if you save the book at that time. If it gets
reset when you enter the book or the page, you'll need set the property
every time you enter the page or background (depending where you have placed
the object). To do so, try naming the Windows Media Player (again, inside
the Universal Media Player group) and then use a script on the page like
this:

to handle enterPage
forward
extAnimationAtStart of mediaPlayer NAME = false
end enterPage

You could also put the script right on the object like this:

notifyAfter enterPage
extAnimationAtStart of self = false
end enterPage

If those solutions aren't working for you, I'd suggest using the command
window to confirm that the extAnimationAtStart property of the mediaPlayer.
You could type:

put extAnimationAtStart of mediaPlayer NAME

or select the player (again, not the Universal Media Player group, but the
mediaPlayer inside the group), and type:

put extAnimationAtStart of selection

Good luck!

Chris,

Sorry, I should have been more detailed. I did see your post on 2/25/2000
and used the handlers you wrote. They work, the extAnimationAtStart property
is FALSE, but the Windows logo still shows at the beginning.
