RealPlayer Parameter Dialog Box

You can use the RealPlayer Parameter dialog box to insert a RealMedia file into a report. This topic describes the options in the dialog box.

Designer displays the RealPlayer Parameter dialog box when you select Insert > Multimedia > RealMedia File, or drag the RealMedia File icon from the Components panel to a report.

You see the following options in the dialog box:

File Name/URL

Specify the name or the URL of the media file. You can select the Browse button to specify a RealMedia file, or type the URL of a RealMedia file in the text box.

Plug-in Page

Specify the URL of the plug-in page from which to download the player used to play the media file, if the player is not available on the local disk.

Properties

You can specify the properties of the media file to control the options when playing the media file in this box.

• Auto Start
  Select to start the media file automatically when end users run the report in Page Report Studio or Web Report Studio.
• Center
  Select to place the presentation in the center of the image window and display it in its original size (the size is determined by the Width and Height properties of the multimedia object in the Report Inspector).
• Loop
  Select to play the media file repeatedly.
• Loop Number
  Specify the number of the times to loop the media file during playback.

  If you select the Loop option and specify the Loop Number at the same time, Loop Number takes effect at runtime, which means the media file will play back according to the specified number even if the loop number is 0, regardless whether you select Loop or not.
