dontRefresh
Type
property
Summary
Specifies whether the last frame of a video clip remains visible or is cleared at the end of the movie.
Syntax
set the dontRefresh of <videoClip> to {true | false}
Description
Use the dontRefresh property to leave the final frame of a movie visible.
If a video clip's dontRefresh property is true, the last frame of the movie remains on the screen after the movie is finished playing, until that portion of the screen is redrawn.
If the dontRefresh is false, the last frame disappears at the end of the movie.
The color table used by the movie does not persist after the movie finishes playing. This means that if the screenColors is 256 or fewer, the colors in the last frame may shift when the movie ends. To prevent this problem, you can set the colorMap property to the set of colors used by the movie.
Examples
set the dontRefresh of videoclip "Sample Movie" to true
