I would like to experiment with playing a video clip either within a popup window or from a mouseover html link?

Any help will be appreciated!

The only way to play a video clip in Ignition right now is through the ActiveX module. With that you can use the Windows Media Player component or the QuickTime player component. This module requires the client to be on Windows. You can download the ActiveX module from our downloads page for your version.
