Once a movie's location is changed with SetRect or SetMatrix, the movie's absolute location within the embed area
is maintained rather than centering it.

These allow you to set location and dimensions of the movie within the embed area. Note: Normally, the QuickTime Plug-in keeps the movie centered within the embed area, even if the embed area changes. Once a movie's location is changed with SetRect or SetMatrix, the movie's absolute location within the embed area is maintained rather than centering it. |
|
| s | GetRectangle() | Returns location and dimensions of the movie within the embed area. | |
| v | SetLanguage(s language) | Sets the movie's current language. This causes the tracks associated with that language to be enabled and tracks associated with other languages to be disabled.
