FILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 68
Insert QuickTime
Purpose
Imports a QuickTime movie or sound file into the current container field.
Format
Insert QuickTime [“<filename>”]
Options
Select Specify source file or click Specify to display the Open dialog box where you can specify
the name, file type, and location of the QuickTime file you intend to insert. For more information, see
Creating file paths.
Compatibility
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
You must specify a field, click in a field, or use the Go to Field script step before performing this
script step.
When Insert QuickTime is performed, unless a file is specified with the Specify source file option,
FileMaker
Pro displays a dialog box where the user can select and preview the file to be imported.
Notes
• If there is no active container field on the layout where the script is being performed, Insert
QuickTime returns an error code that can be captured with the Get(LastError)function.
• This script step requires that QuickTime extension for Windows be installed.
• For a list of media types that QuickTime supports, see Using data in container fields.
• FileMaker Pro doesn't import the file; it only stores a reference to the file and keeps track of
where it is on your hard disk.
