Can HTMLViewer Autoplay MP4

Hi,

I have created a very basic index.htm file to play an mp4 video during my progress dialog, but the HTMLViewer control within the dialog displays only a blank box.

index.htm:

    <html>
    <head>
    </head>

    <body>

    <video autoplay width="720" height="405">
    <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    </video>

    </body>
    </html>

My movie.mp4 file is added to the Support Files area of my installer, and the index.htm autoplays this video outside of the installer dialog without issue.

Does the HTMLViewer control within the dialog editor support playback of video files? If so, any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Stacey

Dear Stacey,

unfortunately HTMLViewer doesn't include such capability.

For videos, you may use an animation control (showing AVI files), as well as a Flash control (for any kind of interactive Flash content).

Hope this helps you.
