The default is True. Example This example turns HasStep off. Since it is called prior to the assignment of a movie to the player, the arrows are not shown for this movie. Dim f as FolderItem f=GetopenFolderItem(FileTypes1.VideoMp4) if f<>Nil then MoviePlayer1.AutoPlay = True MoviePlayer1.HasStep=False MoviePlayer1.movie=f.OpenAsMovie end if _____ Here's what I don't understand. First, whether the value is true or false, there is a fast-forward arrow to the right of the slider (as the RB docs correctly state), BUT the rewind arrow is to the left of the slider, not to the right. Second (and this is more important), If HasStep is declared to be true (or left to the default setting) the arrows are shown (as the RB docs correctly state). BUT if MoviePlayer.HasStep is declared to be false, the arrows are still shown. This is contrary to the RB docs. which say, "This example turns HasStep off. Since it is called prior to the assignment of a movie to the player, the arrows are NOT shown for this movie." BUT the arrows ARE are shown on my computer for the code below. Am I missing something here? Barry Traver P.S. I'm using the Windows version of REALbasic. And here's my code: Dim MovieTypes As New FileType MovieTypes.Name = "Movie files" MovieTypes.Extensions = ".mpeg; .mpg; .mp4; .wmv" Dim File1 As FolderItem = GetOpenFolderItem(MovieTypes) If File1 <> Nil Then MoviePlayer1.HasStep=False MoviePlayer1.AutoPlay = True MoviePlayer1.Movie = File1.OpenAsMovie End If Top timhare Post subject: Re: MoviePlayer.HasStepPosted: Mon Jan 14, 2013 4:01 am Joined: Fri Jan 06, 2006 3:21 pm Posts: 11982 Location: Portland, OR USA Perhaps it is platform-specific functionality and the docs need to be updated. The description of both arrows being on the same side sounds a lot like Mac. I believe you're on Windows, and the control should look different.

If the Mac has arrows on both sides, that is probably the explanation. I do wish I could turn off the arrows in Windows, because the result of moving them is NOT pleasant on the eyes (it looks klutzy) or ears (it sounds awful), but the ability to remove the arrows may be missing on the Windows Media Player, which is what I think REALbasic uses for Windows. (There may not even be a Windows API call I could use, because that feature just may be entirely missing from the software).
