Playing a movie from a SKILL form

David M Gonzales

Is there a skill command that could play a recorded movie (.mov file)?

    The simplest way is to just use axlHttp.

    eg axlHttp("c:/temp/myMovie.mov")

    Thanks eDave! Yes, I am able to play the movie when I link to the file on my local drive. However, when I try to access the file on our network library drive, it fails. Could it be because the network folder name contains spaces?

    axlHttp( "W:/Shared With Me/Libraries/How-To-Videos_and_Guides/UsingStackup&Constraint_Skill_Command.mov" )

    I suppose I could copy the file locally to a predictable folder, play the movie, and delete it at the end. Unless anybody has a better solution?
