Hi Martijn
Ive seen something pretty similar, using jactivex to get a Java wrapper (ms
vm only)
problem when starting video playback from 'invisible' sometimes all you get
is a black image. The way I got around this was to to contain that
component in another container and invalidate() it then validate() it,
causing the image to refresh.
In addition, if you happen to have set SetPreFetch(true), the first call to
DoPlay() will actually not trigger the playback of the clip but put the
player into a state whereby the clip size can be determined, and a further
DoPlay() will be required to playback - either that or do the invalidate
stuff which seems to have exactly the same effect, undocumented behaviour, I
luv it me :)
Another angle may be to set the size of the clip to 0,0 - your mileage may
vary!
Im not sure how that translates into a non coding environment like Access,
the only advice I can give you is that if it plays, leave it :)
TTFN!
Andy
