OpenMovie( file$ )
Parameters
file$ - filename of movie
Description
Movie support relies on DirectShow, so you will need to ensure the correct drivers are installed.
This command will open GIFs as well as AVI and MPEG movie files. However, AVI and MPEG movie will start playing immediately once this command has been used, whereas GIFs do not. See DrawMovie for details on how to deal with GIF animation playback.
No error is raised if the specified file is not a movie file, or if the file does not exist, but the returned movie handle will be zero.
