Object Specific

If the dmw_moviebutton object is visible, a start or finish event is sent when its state changes. When playing a GIF animation, the change to .play=false occurs as soon as the number of repetitions (attribute .loopcount) is reached.

Remarks

For SVG animations, controlling the animation with IDM platforms using Qt 5.11 and Qt 5.15 is not possible. It will run endlessly. A WSI warning will be issued when dynamically changing this attribute in the visible state.
