I know that the play_moviefile command will play an AVI file, and I know that the MOVIE_FRAME is set to it's current frame.

Is there a way to terminate an AVI early, or make it jump to a specific frame and then continue?

Can't just play the movie in a while loop? Like this....
while (current_frame <= desired_end_frame)
{
play_movie
}
end_movie

to make it restart
currentframe = where_you_want_to_restart_it
{
while (current_frame <= new_desired_end_frame)
{
play_movie
}

of course I didn't use the real commands, but I hope you got the concept.

That would be great... I didn't think that would work for some reason. I'll try it out.

Thanks!

No problem at all. Please let me know if it works, for I will be using the same idea in my game.

Sephiroth,

As I feared, MOVIE_FRAME is read-only, so your idea will not work.

I'm going to mention this in the FUTURE section under my post on AVI sprites, since this is the only time that I would even need to control the playback frames dynamically.

Thanks for the suggestion though!
