Q When a user pastes a movie into a movie controller movie, the
added movie is inserted in the top left corner of the movie. Is there a way for the user to
choose the position where the movie is pasted? If not, how can I give the movie controller or
Movie Toolbox an offset to use rather than have the editing operations use the top left corner? A When you paste a movie into a movie-controller movie, the movie controller calls PasteMovieSelection to insert the source movie. Since all the
characteristics of the movie are inserted, the pasted movie is inserted in the top left corner
of the movie-controller movie. There's no easy way to specify an offset directly to the movie
controller. If you need to change the offset of the pasted movie, you have to modify the movie
yourself after the paste using Movie Toolbox commands. Once you're done changing the movie, be
sure to call MCMovieChanged so that the movie controller updates correctly.
The actual modification is simple: call Here's one last idea: If you don't mind changing the source movie, offset the source movie before the paste as an alternative method. [May 01 1995] |
