Screen location of videoclip in standalone

[Paul_Malloy]

I have searched the forums and tried several fixes with no success. I have a videoclip that plays properly in the correct position when in the programming environment, but after compiling the standalone for OSX, the clip plays at the upper left corner of the stack window, only partly visible.

Here is my card script:

on opencard
send "startRolling" to fld "Credits"
set the scale of videoClip "Axial CT.mov" to 0.4
play videoClip "Axial CT.mov" looping at 500,210
end opencard

on closecard
play stop videoClip "Axial CT.mov"
end closecard

Any suggestions appreciated.

Dear Paul_Malloy,

Does this help?

Code: Select all

on opencard
  send "startRolling" to fld "Credits"
  send "playMovie" to me in 0 millisecs
end opencard

on playMovie
  set the scale of videoClip "Axial CT.mov" to 0.4
  play videoClip "Axial CT.mov" looping at 500,210
end playMovie

Best,

Mark

Thanks for trying, but that did not help. One other piece of information:
If I navigate to another card in the standalone, then go back to the first card, the movie plays in the correct position.

Try using a "player object", you will gain much more control on the movie.

to load a movie into a player object:
set the fileName of player "myPlayer" to movieFilePath

to put it somewhere:
set the loc of player "myPlayer" to myLeft,myTop

to resize it:
set the width of player "myPlayer" to myWidth
set the height of player "myPlayer" to myHeight

to start or stop:
play player "myPlayer"
stop player "myPlayer"

etc.
