#Introduction

{=/qtlogo=} The {#QuickTime Plug-In#http://quicktime.apple.com#} adds embedded movie capability to Netscape and other popular Web browsers. With MTX, placing a movie is as easy as working with in-line still images. The first frame of the movie will appear as a place holder while the data is downloading. "Quick start" movies can begin playing before the entire file has been downloaded.

#Movie Tags

To place a movie on the page, enclose the file name with ¾M...M„. The ".mov" extension will be added automatically. 

{MmovieM}

=  ¾MmovieM„

The following default settings are assumed:

	Movie Size: 240x180 pixels (or smaller)
	Movie Controller: Visible
	Auto Play: OFF
	Plugs-In Page: {#http://quicktime.apple.com##}

For {#compatibility#compat.html#} it is best to use embedded movies sparingly.

#Text Wrap

It is possible to "flow" text around the movie using the {#floating graphic#float.html#} alignment modifiers (\, /, and $):

=  ¾M\movieM„  (float left)
=  ¾M/movieM„  (float right)
=  ¾M$movieM„  (vertical center)

#Hidden Movies (Audio Only)

It is possible to create "background" audio tracks for your pages using hidden QuickTime movies. Use the ¾A...A„. audio tags to add an {#audio only movie#audio.html#} to a page.

=  ¾AmovieA„

#Auto Play Modifier

Adding an exclaimation mark (!) after the first movie tag will turn on the "auto play" feature for "quick start" movies.

=  ¾M!movieM„

Adding an exclaimation mark (!) after the first audio tag will turn on the "loop" feature to play background audio continuously.

=  ¾A!movieA„
