motifName Attribute

Internet Development Index

---

Sets the name of the Microsoft?DirectMusic?motif to play.

Syntax

HTML	<ELEMENT motifName=sMotif ... >
Scripting	N/A

Possible Values

sMotif

A String containing the name of the motif to play.

Remarks

Specifying a motif indicates that the motif in the segment should be played instead of the segment itself. Motifs are automatically played as secondary segments.

When motifName is used, the segment must contain a style track. The style referenced in the style track must contain a motif with that name and that is the motif that will be played. Thus, to gain access to a style, you access the motif by using the style referenced by the segment. The default for motifName is an empty string indicating to play the source segment itself.

The motifName attribute is only valid if the PLAYER attribute is set to DMusic.

Standards Information
