quicktime controls & automatic start

[SimonBaum09]

Hi

By default Movies are paused when controls is selected. How can make a Quicktime Movie start automatically although the Movie controls is selected?

Regards

Simon

on beginSprite me
sprite(me.spriteNum).movieRate=1
end

I find that it is more reliable although more complex to do it this way.
One thing in particular that works better this way is getting a reliable
duration when using the MPEG Advance Xtra although, in your case, I realize
that you're not using it.

property pInit

on beginSprite me
pInit = FALSE
end

on exitFrame me
if pInit = FALSE then
pInit = TRUE
sprite(me.spriteNum).movieRate=1
end if
end

This is also the more logical way to do it since it gives the QT movie a
chance to initialize.

Mike's supplied the answer to your question, but in general many have
been asked (and answered) previously, so don't forget to search the
forum before posting.

Thanks a lot anyway!
