Play Multimedia File

Post to HTTP Server

WiseScript Editor Reference
This action plays an audio (.WAV) or video (.AVI) file during installation. Playback is
asynchronous, which means the sound or movie can play while the installation
continues. The multimedia file must be installed on the destination computer before this
action is called. It must be small enough to fit into the destination computer's RAM for it
to play correctly, because the disk is heavily accessed by the installation process. To
produce sound, the destination computer must be properly equipped and configured.
To complete the dialog box
File Type
Select either .WAV or .AVI.
Pathname
Specify the path to the .WAV or .AVI file. Start this field with a variable (example:
%MAINDIR%\Movie.avi). If the multimedia file is used only during installation, you
can use the Get Temporary Filename action to obtain a random file name, then
install the file to %TEMP%\%TEMPFILENAME%.
X Position, Y Position
Indicate the location on a 640 x 480 screen at which an .AVI file should be played
back. Coordinates are adjusted proportionately for the display resolution on the
destination computer.
Loop Continuously
This action posts information over the Internet to a Web server. (Example: Use it to
record user registration information or other data.) You must set up a CGI program or
Active Server Page (.ASP) on the server that accepts data sent by an HTTP POST
operation and deciphers encoded characters.
The destination computer must have a valid Internet connection. If end users might not
have this capability, you can add a prompt on a dialog box asking the end user if they
have Internet connectivity. Then use the results from the prompt to run this action or
not.
To complete the dialog box
Destination URL
Enter the URL of the CGI program or ASP page that accepts posted data.
Text to Post
The text to post should be one or more lines in the format:
field=data
where field is the name of the field as it is expected by the CGI program, and data is
the data to be sent in that field. If a line does not appear to contain a field name
followed by =, it is assumed to be a continuation of the previous line, and the data
on the two lines is concatenated and sent with a single field identifier.
The field names might be the same as variable names, but they do not have to be.
You include variables enclosed in % in the text to be posted. Use %% to send an
actual % symbol.
