Hi, Is there any way to play a Quicktime movie and have it go behind all the other objects? I was wanting to make an animated background, and a large active object would be too slow.

The Video objects (AVI, QuickTime, DirectShow, etc.) cannot be displayed behind active objects. If you can convert your QuickTime movie to AVI, you can play an AVI file with the Animation object (without sound).

I experimented that myself and it works very well. Big movies will of course use more CPU but they run as smoothly as traditionnal AVIs despite being used as active objects.
Nice work !
The problem that I had however is that the "previous frame" action doesn't work (while "next frame" works).That action works correctly with the AVI object so I guess that must be a bug of the animation object?

I'm not sure, I'll check (maybe a bug in the AVI filter).
BTW you should use the Previous Frame action only for small animations, because in an animation each frame just contains the differences with the previous one. So when you want to get back 1 frame, you have to restart the animation from the beginning and go to the previous frame... Some formats give the ability to insert key frames, so you can restart from the last key frame, but I think the MMF2 filters don't support them.

I was searching for the exact same thing, and found this on the old clickteam forum.
