    Default Making movie wait till video finished, but.....

    How can i make a movie wait until the video is finished and then move on the
    next video, at the same time keeping the navigation functionality and have the
    ability to pause the move at any time.

    Basically my boss wants a rolling presentation (which contains video and he
    can pause at any time and move between pages while paused.

    Now i can get the presentation to roll through but when video is playing the
    pause no longer works.

    Please help!!

    Use the below code to hold the play head on the first video until it has ended.

    Place the First video on a sprite channel of your choice, in my example I use
    sprite channel (35) also put a marker and name it what ever you like. Then
    create another maker and place your second video on that marker

    Then place your second video on sprite channel (36) at the tail end of the
    first video.

    What will happen is that after the first video ends it moves to the marker
    specified, in my example it is getstarted. Then it will start to play the
    second video. Create another behavior for the second video and so on.

    Attach this code to the first video, create your marker for the playhead to
    play the second video and so on.

    on exitFrame me
    go to the frame
    if sprite (35).movieRate = 0 then
    play "getstarted"
    end if
    end

    So here is my example:
    sprite channel (35) ths contains the first video after it ends it jumps to
    marker getstarted
    sprite channel (36) at marker getstarted the second video is placed on sprite
    channel (36)
    at marker end is where the second video ends up after it ends.

    Just duplicate your play, stop and pause features and place the duplicate at
    the second video marker don't forget to change the property of the video
    controllers to the second video

    Hope this helps
