Syntax

    the timeoutPlay

Description

System property; determines whether the `timeoutLapsed` property will be set to `TRUE` when the movie is paused with the `pause` command. When `TRUE`, timeouts will occur when the movie is paused. When `FALSE`, timouts will not occur when the movie is paused. The default value is `FALSE`.

This property can be tested and set.

    set the timeoutPlay to TRUE

or

    the timeoutPlay = TRUE
