QM_Play

QM_Play(areaRef; movieRate):error
	areaRef	Longint	Movie area reference
	movieRate	Real	Playback rate
	error	Longint	Error result

Instructs the movie controller in a movie plug-in area to play the movie currently assigned to the area.

The movie plug-in area is specified by areaRef.

Parameter movieRate specifies the playback rate. It is a real number in the -5.0 ... +5.0 range. Positive rates mean forward playback and negative rates mean reverse playback. Use a rate of 1.0 for forward playback at normal speed. A rate of 0.0 stops the movie (this can also be done by calling the QM_Stop command).

Example

`Play the movie in plug-in area xMovieArea at double playback rate

$error:=QM_Play (xMovieArea;2)
