Description

Imports a QuickTime movie or sound file into the current container field. If you do not specify a field, then click in a field or use the Go to Field script step before performing this script step.

When Insert QuickTime is performed, unless a file is specified with the Specify source file option, FileMaker Pro displays a dialog box where the user can select and preview the file to be imported.

Notes

If there is no active container field on the layout where the script is being performed, Insert QuickTime returns an error code that can be captured with the Get(LastError) function.

This script step requires that QuickTime extension for Windows be installed.
