Remarks

This element contains text that represents a description of the parent ASX, BANNER, or ENTRY element. The Microsoft® Windows Media™ Player displays the text in both the display panel and the Properties dialog box.

If this element appears within an ASX element, the text displays as a ToolTip when the mouse hovers over the show title in the display panel, and also appears in the Show tab of the Properties dialog box, under Description.

If this element appears within an ENTRY element, the text displays as a ToolTip when the mouse hovers over the clip title in the display panel, and also appears in the Clip tab of the Properties dialog box, under Description.

If this element appears within a BANNER element, the text is displayed as a ToolTip for the banner graphic.

Only the first ABSTRACT element within the scope of another element is used when an Advanced Stream Redirector (ASX) file is processed. Subsequent ABSTRACT elements in that scope are ignored.
