Movie Controller Functions / Customizing Event Processing

MCIdle

The MCIdle function performs idle processing for a movie controller. This idle processing includes calling the Movie Toolbox's MoviesTask function for each movie that is associated with the controller. Your application should call the MCIdle function as often as possible, in order to ensure consistent movie play behavior.

pascal ComponentResult MCIdle (MovieController mc);

mc

Specifies the movie controller for the operation. You obtain this
identifier from the Component Manager's OpenComponent or OpenDefaultComponent function, or from the NewMovieController function (described on page 2-28).

DESCRIPTION

The MCIdle function returns a value indicating whether it handled the event. The function sets the returned value to 1 if it handles the event. The function sets the returned value to 0 if it does not handle the event. In this case, your application is responsible for the event.
