Description

Set the pbActive property to true to start playing an animation file.

Before an animation file can be played, it must be open. There are several ways that you can achieve this:

Set the peAnimation property to the name of a built-in animation, such as aviFileCopy

Set peAnimation to aviFileDelete 
Set pbActive To True // plays the animation

Set the psFileName property to the name of an animation file on disk.

Set psFileName to "c:\Test.avi"
Set pbActive To True // plays the animation

Send the DoOpen procedure with the name of an animation file on disk.

Send DoOpen "c:\Test.avi"
Set pbActive To True // plays the animation

If you set this property to True, and the animation cannot be played, it will be reset back to False.

Default is false.
