The media package will only run if there is a JMF (Java Media Framework) implementation for the operating system you are using. At the time of writing that limits it to Windows and Solaris.
These are the keywords supplied for media operations:
create Create a player. hide Hide a player or its controller. load Load a media document into a player. move Move a player around the screen. on Define what to do when a media event occurs. play Play media. player Declare a player variable. seek Move the play pointer to a given position in the media file. set Set the cursor of a player. show Show a player or its controller. stop Stop a player.
This section of Linguist is still in development. More keywords will be added as the package is developed.
