Scope

Purpose

This object type can be used to embed a video into the parent Book Page.

Use

Insert the object on the Book Page, size it as required, and then use the Source property's Edit button to navigate to and select the required video file. This can be a file in the Workarea, on your PC (in which case it will be loaded into the Workarea as a sub-asset of the parent Book Page), or any file addressable via a URL.

Note that for video to be able to be played (as opposed to the user being prompted to download the video file), the browser must have a helper application that can handle videos. In addition, for video sourced from some video hosting websites (such as YouTube), you need to make sure the link is to an 'embeddable' file. Videos designed to be run in iFrames also sometimes present problems during playback - again, check the format of the URL.
