Description

Sets a movie to start playing when a sufficient amount of media data is available.
The autoplay method configures a QTMovie object to begin playing as soon as enough data is available that the playback can continue uninterrupted to the end of the movie. This is most useful for movies being loaded from a remote URL or from an extremely slow local device. For movies stored on most local devices, this method has the same effect as the QTMovie.Play method.

Examples

Play now

MBS( "QTMovie.Autoplay"; $Movie )

Play when enough data is loaded:

MBS( "QTMovie.Autoplay"; $Movie )
