i add this script

String Intro_vid = <start1.avi>;
String Intro = <Urinary_bladder.wmb>;

function main()
{
wait(1);
media_play("start1.avi",null,100);
while(media_playing(media_handle))
{ if(key_space) { media_stop(media_handle); } wait(1); }
wait(1);
level_load(Intro);
wait(1);

when i run it. the movie doesn't play, the screen is black but when i push space bar. movie's stop and game load normally. what's wrong with my code or movie??

My movie is .avi and i use 3dgs a6 pro

Can't imagine what's going on.
Did you made this video (what codec, 16/24bit colour, etc.)?
Are the sound present while screen is black?
Are your video played ok in the ordinary Windows media player?

i made this movie by using 3ds max and my movie run well on every media player program. i think it must be something wrong with my code not my movie.

when i run the game. I heard the sound but didn't see any movie. That means my screen is black but movie's sound still play.

Maybe its because of that:

Im not really familiar with videos, so I'm probably wrong.


nipx

my version is pro so i think it can support .avi.

i ask about sound while screen is black because i had same error once. it disappear after i made new media with other codec. yes, my first ("bad") media played in MS mediaplayer well, but crashes winamp and sound only played in GS engine.

have you try using the variable name where the media is?
like this:
.
.
media_play(Intro_vid,null,100);
.
.

media_play(Intro_vid,null,100);

I already used this. it doesn't work either. Maybe I have to change codec.


Lion_Ts which codec is work?? and what is your file name extension .wmv or else? I already used with .wmv and it doesn't work either. This drive me crazy ahhhh....

but this is very strange, when i use template cutscene it work very well, but when i use this code it doesn't work.

If u have the code that work in the same way, please post it.. THANKS for your help.. *-*

i just typed your code and test it - it's working well, plays fullscreen video before actual level loading (as desired, your code isn't complicated.).
Code:

---

function main()
{
media_play("clock.avi",null,100);
while(media_playing(media_handle)) {
	if(key_space) {
		media_stop(media_handle);
	}
	wait(1);
}
...

It's strange that your video plays in the cutscene template.
Make a simple empty project and try just to display the video (without all your rest code). I mean, you have to debug a little. Hope, your 3dgs isn't A6.22pro if so, update to the a6.314 at least.
I had troubles once, when my friend made small video from 3dmax with unusual codec (can't remember, somethink like SinePack...).
with any other codec i haven't any problem.
By the way, do you know about license fee if you're using DivX, mp3, etc.?
