Remarks

A script command is associated with a designated time in the ASF stream. When the stream reaches that time, the Windows Media Player control rendering the stream issues an event. The event can be captured and processed by an event handling routine. Any type of command can be sent for a reciprocal event handler written for Microsoft® Windows Media™ Player to process the command. The following Types of commands are automatically handled by the Windows Media Player control:

• URL. Launches the URL in the default browser.
  
  
• FILENAME. Specifies the file, and begins playing it.
  
  
• Text. Displays the given text in the closed-captioning area of Windows Media Player.
  
  
• Event. Specifies the name of the <EVENT> tag to which to jump in the current show (.asx file).
  
  
• OpenEvent. Notifies Windows Media Player of an upcoming Event-type command.

Script commands can only be sent if the AllowScripts property is True.
