Quicktime Embedding...

Quicktime Embedding...

[flip phillips]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 613 bytes --]

So, I'm putting together a presentation that needs a quicktime movie or 
two embeded using ConTeXt and a presentation style I ripped off from one 
of the supplied examples.

I have the following in the presentation:

...
\placefigure[here,force]{none}{\externalfigure[stim.mov]}
...

the ConTeXt run complains:

figures        : figure stim.mov is not preset

yet it is there... in the illustrations directory as specified by

\setupexternalfigures[directory={./illus}]

I tried to place it in the directory with the .tex file, no avail. Am I 
missing something ?

because there is no way to get the movie dimensions, you *need* to specify 
a height and width

Ach!
Works now- Thanks!

Seems to be some path anomalies under MacOSX, perhaps some wierdness w/ 
HFS vs. Unix Paths and Acrobat. If one just places the movie in the same 
directory all is well.

I noticed that full-page / text-region 'buttons' seem to catch the mouse 
click before the movie, advancing to the next page when they are 
present. Again, I'm unsure if this is a Acrobat anomaly or ConTeXt...

in your viwer preferences, you should disable advance on click in full 
screen mode

Also, you can do things like:

\goto [nextpage,StartMovie]

or

\... StartMovie{name}

when you have set label=name when including the movie.

\setupinteraction[openaction=StartMovie]

(openaction / closeaction / openpageaction / ...)
