play video

[Cool Ice]

how do i play a video file? it tried
DrawAnimation explosion.avi, 0, 0
PlayAnimation ("explosion.avi")
DrawScreen
but somehow it doesn't really work.

Code: Select all

anim = PlayAnimation("explosion.avi")
Repeat
    DrawAnimation anim,0,0
    DrawScreen
Forever
StopAnimation anim

This should work. Remember that the screen resolution must be larger than the resolution of the video (you can change it with SCREEN command).

oh, ok - so simple

and how can id set the SCREEN command by using variables?
SCREEN width$, height$, depth$, 0
doesn't work.

And how about resizing images with variables?
ResizeImage Monster, size-w$, size-h$
doesn't work either.

They don't work because you are using strings ($) while those commands demand integers.

Code: Select all

SCREEN Int(width$), Int(height$), Int(depth$), 0

ResizeImage Monster, size-Int(w$), size-Int(h$)

This should work.
