I could not find something in the manual. "media_stop" would only stop my media but not skip i think..so any idea? the function have to look like something like this i think: if ((key_space) && spacebar_clear) { ...(?) } [Sorry for my english] Greetings

Where do i have to paste the 'if (key_space) then media_stop'? After media_play? need help please...:(

Also, note that those wait(999) are waiting a number of frames, not a given time, which means it can continue before the video is finished or continue too late. Kubetris LBGUI
