Tooltip Video not found

Anonymous — Fri, 30 Jun 2017 19:50:43 GMT

I've been following Jeremy Tammik's article about putting a video in an extended tool tip (http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2012/09/video-animated-ribbon-item-tooltip.html), but I've been having trouble getting the video to appear. As I hover over the button, a large empty space appears, as if a video will load, then it disappears and says "The video for this tooltip could not be found". In Jeremy's source code, the filepath for the video is C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit Structure 2013\Program\videos\GUID-053F3A19-7EFF-48D5-A0FA-AF0C2CC4BD9D-low.swf, however, this app is going to be distributed, so I wanted to keep the video in the same folder as the project. In my code, I have the filepath to the video similar to that of referencing the images used for the PushButton.Image property: "pack://application:,,,/Project1;component/Resources/Test.mp4". When I reference the same Revit file as given in the source code, everything works fine, but as soon as I try and reference it within the project itself, it doesn't work. Any idea as to why that is?

Dear Callin,

That sounds really weird.

All the source code has been published.

Why don't you modify it yourself and update the path to something more sensible that really suits your needs?

Best regards,

Jeremy

Hi,

I think it is a matter of file format.

Try to convert your mp4 to an swf file.
