String (file-name)
Internal AVI
Purpose
The AviFile parameter specifies a video image (AVI file) to be played on start-up. The AVI file can be any file handled by the presentation client interface, including the following.
AVI files with sound
MIDI files
WAV files, in which no visible image is displayed
If the specified file does not exist or it is not a valid type (for example, if you specify None), it is ignored. The value of <default> or jade specifies that JADE displays an internal resource (rather than an external file).
The value of <none> or none disables the display of an AVI file on the splash screen.
When creating your AVI image, ensure that your bitmap is realistically sized so that it fits the JADE start-up window.
Parameter is read when …
The client node is next initialized.
Hints
Use a simple AVI file without sound, as it displays faster and loops seamlessly. (It uses the Microsoft Animation class.)
Do not use AVI files wrapped in an OLE object (for example, those created by CorelDraw), as this causes the start-up process to be delayed while OLE libraries are loaded and initialized and while the OLE Server is loaded to play the OLE file.
