Gosh, I must have a session with my therapist (he's a tortoise called
Harold who
lives in our garden) . . .
Here's another way:
Horribly wasteful in terms of file size, but guarantees no dependency on
external components.
This will allow you to show a SILENT "film sequence":
1. Export your movie file to images (say 25 per second).
2. Import them into a hidden card in your stack [think BLOATWARE].
3. On the card where you want to present the film/animation;
create an IMAGE that has the exact dimensions of the images
Menu : Object/New Control/Image
4. Pop a script like this into your button:
on mouseUp
put 1003 into FRAMEK
repeat for 356 times
add 1 to FRAMEK
set the imageData of img "SHOWBOX" to the imageData of img ID FRAMEK
wait 2 ticks
end repeat
end mouseUp
