The Abstract element contains text that represents a description of the associated ASX, Banner or Entry element. This text is displayed by the player in both the Display panel and the Properties dialog box.
If the Abstract element is used in an ASX element, the text is displayed as a ToolTip when the mouse is placed over the title of the show in the Show bar. The title displayed in the Show bar comes from the Title element in an ASX element. The text in the Abstract element also is displayed under Description on the Show tab of the Properties dialog box.
When you use the Abstract element inside an Entry element in the ASX file, the text is displayed as a ToolTip when the mouse is placed over the clip title in the Display panel, and under Description on the Clip tab of the Properties dialog box.
The Abstract element contains the text displayed as a ToolTip for a Banner graphic when it is used as a child element to the Banner element.
