For normal containers, we already have
MovieView functions. With those functions you can for example play movies inside the container.
But with an interactive containers, Filemaker 12 actually uses a web view. There our MovieView functions will not work. But the Webviewer functions work.
MBS( "WebView.RunJavaScript" ; "movie"; "document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0].play();" )
This line will play the video. The container field on the layout must be named "movie" and we simply play the first video there. Of course you can also use other javascript video functions. like calling pause() function or querying duration or currentTime properties.
New in this prerelease of the 3.4 plugins:
- Added GMImage.WriteImages function.
- Fixed a bug with SQL.GetFieldName and index = 0.
- Fixed XML.Query function to also return string, number or boolean.

Nickenich, Germany - MonkeyBread Software today is pleased to announce
MBS FileMaker Plugin 3.3 for Mac OS X or Windows, the latest update to their product that is easily the most powerful plugin currently available for FileMaker Pro. As the leading database management solution for Windows, Mac, and the web, the FileMaker Pro Integrated Development Environment supports a plugin architecture that can easily extend the feature set of the application. MBS FileMaker Plugin 3.3 has been updated and now includes over 1600 different functions, and the versatile plugin has gained more new functions:
Our new plugin has a lot of new function for
DynaPDF. Especially for handling huge PDF files like producing a 1000 page document. Also we now allow loading PDF pages as template and placing them several times on a new PDF. Finally we have methods to save your PDF and sign it with a digital signature.
For our encryption methods we have a new hash function called
Hash.PBKDF2.HMAC to create encryption keys based on a password. And you can choose between MD5, SHA1, SHA256 or SHA512 as hashing algorithm.
Our
ServerSocket functionality is improved to allow queries from Filemaker Go and from Javascript. This way we can for example trigger scripts in Filemaker Pro from a database on an iPad running Filemaker Go. Or even from a webviewer running inside Filemaker Pro on Windows using Internet Explorer 10.
A new function helps to verify if
email addresses are right. We check the syntax of the email address and optionally also verify that a mail server exists for the domain.
And we have improvements for Addressbook, SerialPort, Container, Drag & Drop, Window, Twain, Container and SQL access functions.
New in this prerelease of the 3.3 plugins:
- For TCP Sockets you can now more reliable get the remote IP/Port information.
- Improved socket handling, so we get Error Script called if socket is disconnected from the other side.
- Added DynaPDF.SaveAndSignFile function.

As you may know we have the
WebView.InstallCallback plugin function to register the window.status setter to call a Filemaker script in a webviewer from javascript. This is a very useful function for a lot of solutions.
But with Internet Explorer version 10 and newer, Microsoft optimized the security model. Or in other words, we can patch the stuff as much as we want, but the javascript methods no longer call the patched functions.
So we need another solution. And we found one in the last days. We can use our new
ServerSocket functions. So the plugin is told to wait for incoming requests and performs them. The website itself sends via Javascript a XMLHttpRequest to our plugin. This way we can once again launch scripts from Javascript. And this works also with Mac OS X and Webkit.
So please check 3.3pr6 plugin with the
ServerSocket functions and the new example.
New in this prerelease of the 3.3 plugins:
- Added DynaPDF.FlushPages function and path parameter to DynaPDF.New for creating huge PDFs.
- Added example for sending commands from webviewer to Filemaker which works with Serversocket and with IE10.
- Added Mac version of Window.GetClassName function.
- Added Window.List function.
- Added Trace.Off function.
- Added flags parameter to ServerSocket.Start.
- Added Twain.ClearCancelScript, Twain.ClearNotificationScript, Twain.GetUIVisible, Twain.SetCancelScript.
