Commands Reference: This section describes
how to use the features of the CoolFusion Plug-in for Netscape to
customize the actions of a selected AVI video. Included in this section are: QuickStart Directives Commands Events
A CoolFusion embed statement can be as easy as: <embed
src=example.avi width=176 height=144>. This statement allows the
clip to display without the playback controls in a 176x144 window. A playback
menu is available, while the clip plays and streams immediately without user
intervention. Look on the CoolFusion home page
(http://www.iterated.com/cfusion/cfusion.htm) for more information and HTML
documents.
- showcontrols=TRUE|FALSE
- If showcontrols=TRUE, the playback controls are displayed. This
directive defaults to showcontrols=FALSE, which causes the controls not
to be displayed.
- nomenu=TRUE|FALSE
- If nomenu=TRUE the playback menu is not displayed. This directive
defaults to nomenu=FALSE,
- which causes the playback menu not to be displayed.
- streamondoubleclk=TRUE|FALSE
- If streamondoubleclk=TRUE, the content streams to the first frame
and waits for a left button double-click event to resume streaming. This
directive defaults to streamondoubleclk=FALSE, which directs the plugin
to stream the content in its entirety without user intervention. This feature is
very useful when an HTML page design requires multiple video clips, while
providing the best streaming performance of the individual clips.
