There is no cl_gui_movie class, there is a class called

CL_GUI_PICTURE

Using the method LOAD_PICTURE_FROM_URL u can load picture.

I have not tried yet.

Hi Raju,

You can go through this weblog of Thomas Jung to work with Windows Media Player to view videos in ABAP.Though I didn't give the code for Play , Stop and other options, it worked.

you cannot use CL_GUI_MOVIE.

check the code in the consutructor method of the class.

first its checks whether system supports activex

call function 'GUI_HAS_OBJECTS'

exporting

object_model = sfes_obj_activex

importing

return = return

exceptions

others = 1.

if sy-subrc ne 0.

raise error.

endif.

and set a variable

if return = 'X'.

guitype = 1.

endif.

later it explicitly raises error message means you cannot use it at all

case guitype.

<b> when 1.</b>* Vorlaeufig

<b> raise error.</b> clsid = 'SAPGUI.MovieCtrl.1'.

when 2.

clsid = 'com.sap.components.controls.sapMovie.SapMovie'.

when others.

raise error.

endcase.

where the german comment

Vorlaeufig

means "Provisionally"

we are on was 6.40 sp11 may be in later sps/releases it will be working.

Regards

Raja
