Direct Show

[Game_Master]

Whenever I load a video into the direct show object, it doesn't play. I ask it to play but it is just a black screen where the object is. However, whenever I then click and hold something of the standard windows interface (eg: trackbar or even the close button) the video starts to play.

Any ideas why it would do this?

I am using [color:#993399]MMF2 Developer[/color] [color:#FF0000]Build 249 non HWA[/color] on Windows Vista Home Premium.

Source File

Also, what do you think of my buttons/icons?

I have reverted back to build 248, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas why?

Its your events
I think the file is OK event is triggering over and over or an error needs to be cleared or something. Not sure.

I took out the event and added those actions on the resume button and I was good to go and it played fine.

When using the "File Object", sometimes (in my experience) it causes the condition "Last Action OK" to loop. You can either change to the "Common File Dialog Object", or add a value check to the action. For example:

-"Last Action OK"
-"Global Value A = 0"

-->Load Video File
-->Play Video
-->Set Global Value to 1

Then when the user clicks on the load button, set the global value A to 0.

Edit: Dang! Beaten by Jeff.

Also when you get an error in the file object you need to clear the error or nothing further is going to happen with it
