FILEMAKER PRO HELP 1031
Options
• Select Store only a reference to have FileMaker Pro store only a link to an audio or video
file in the container field instead of the actual file. This option may reduce the size of your
FileMaker
Pro file, but if you move or delete the file being referenced, FileMaker Pro won't
be able to display it.
• Select Specify source file or click Specify to display the Specify Audio/Video File dialog
box, where you can specify the audio or video file you intend to insert in the interactive
container. Or click Add File and choose a file to insert. For more information, see
Creating
file paths.
Compatibility
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 12.0
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 Audio/Video 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.
Note FileMaker WebDirect does not support the Store only a reference or Specify source file
options.
Notes
• If there is no active container field on the layout where the script is being performed, Insert
Audio/Video returns an error code that can be captured with the
Get(LastError) function.
• This script step works only for interactive containers. For more information, see Specifying
formats for container fields.
• For a list of supported media types, see Using data in container fields.
