A TQMovie provides a TQPixmap as the framePixmap(); connections can be made via connectResize() and connectUpdate() to receive notification of size and pixmap changes. All decoding is driven by the normal event-processing mechanisms.
The movie begins playing as soon as the TQMovie is created (actually, once control returns to the event loop). When the last frame in the movie has been played, it may loop back to the start if such looping is defined in the input source.
TQMovie objects are explicitly shared. This means that a TQMovie copied from another TQMovie will be displaying the same frame at all times. If one shared movie pauses, all pause. To make \fIindependent\fR movies, they must be constructed separately.
The set of data formats supported by TQMovie is determined by the decoder factories that have been installed; the format of the input is determined as the input is decoded.

The \fIbufsize\fR argument sets the maximum amount of data the movie will transfer from the data source per event loop. The lower this value, the better interleaved the movie playback will be with other event processing, but the slower the overall processing will be.
Constructs a TQMovie that reads an image sequence from the given data source, \fIsrc\fR. The source must be allocated dynamically, because TQMovie will take ownership of it and will destroy it when the movie is destroyed. The movie starts playing as soon as event processing continues.

Note that due to the explicit sharing of TQMovie objects, these connections persist until they are explicitly disconnected with disconnectResize() or until \fIevery\fR shared copy of the movie is deleted.
Connects the \fIreceiver\fR's \fImember\fR, of type \fCvoid member(int)\fR so that it is signalled when the movie changes status. The status codes are negative for errors and positive for information.
l - l. Status Code Meaning TQMovie::SourceEmpty signalled if the input cannot be read. TQMovie::UnrecognizedFormat signalled if the input data is unrecognized. TQMovie::Paused signalled when the movie is paused by a call to paused() or by after stepping pauses. TQMovie::EndOfFrame signalled at end-of-frame after any update and Paused signals. TQMovie::EndOfLoop signalled at end-of-loop, after any update signals, EndOfFrame - but before EndOfMovie. TQMovie::EndOfMovie

Connects the \fIreceiver\fR's \fImember\fR of type \fCvoid member(const TQRect&)\fR so that it is signalled when an area of the framePixmap() has changed since the previous frame.

Returns the current frame of the movie, as a TQImage. It is not generally useful to keep a copy of this image. Also note that you must not call this function if the movie is finished(), since by then the image will not be available.
Returns the number of times EndOfFrame has been emitted since the start of the current loop of the movie. Thus, before any EndOfFrame has been emitted the value will be 0; within slots processing the first signal, frameNumber() will be 1, and so on.
Returns the current frame of the movie, as a TQPixmap. It is not generally useful to keep a copy of this pixmap. It is better to keep a copy of the TQMovie and get the framePixmap() only when needed for drawing.
Pushes \fIlength\fR bytes from \fIdata\fR into the movie. \fIlength\fR must be no more than the amount returned by pushSpace() since the previous call to pushData().
Returns the maximum amount of data that can currently be pushed into the movie by a call to pushData(). This is affected by the initial buffer size, but varies as the movie plays and data is consumed.
Sets the background color of the pixmap to \fIc\fR. If the background color isValid(), the pixmap will never have a mask because the background color will be used in transparent regions of the image.
Sets the movie's play speed as a percentage, to \fIpercent\fR. This is a percentage of the speed dictated by the input data format. The default is 100 percent.
Returns the number of steps remaining after a call to step(). If the movie is paused, steps() returns 0. If it's running normally or is finished, steps() returns a negative number.
