SYMPTOMS
When you open a Web page that contains a Video for Windows (.avi) file in a
Web browser, the animation starts immediately after the page is loaded,
even though you cleared the Start options on the Video tab in the Image
Properties dialog box (Edit menu).
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when either of the following lines of code are
included in the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) document:
<img dynsrc="filename.avi" start="">
-or-
<img dynsrc="filename.avi" start="FILEOPEN">
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, use one of the following methods.
Method 1. Start animation immediately after loading the page
To start animation immediately after loading the page, follow these steps:
- In FrontPage Editor, select the image.
- On the Edit menu, click Image Properties.
- Click the Video tab.
- Under Start, click to select the On File Open check box. Make sure the
On Mouse Over check box is not selected.
-or-
Click to clear both the On File Open and the On Mouse Over check
boxes.
- Click OK.
Method 2. Start Animation When the Mouse Passes Over the Image
To start an animation when the mouse passes over the image, follow these
steps:
- In FrontPage Editor, select the image.
- On the Edit menu, click Image Properties.
- Click the Video tab.
- Under Start, click to select the On Mouse Over check box. Make sure that
the On File Open check box is not selected.
- Click OK. That resolves the issues.
