Is there a step-by-step guide to Construct's animation system? I'm talking a guide that goes from opening the editor to importing your frames... everything.

A Fix for the control bar issue!:

What I've found is that as long as your video is sized to 1920x1080 it's not visible! In smaller sizes however, it'll still be visible. I doubt we'd be able to get rid of it with smaller sizes without some kind of programming to the actual plugin. But if you're doing video at this resolution like I am, then you should be fine.

I'm going to keep trying to see if there is some kind of way to force resizing.

It was really easy for me to figure out the ticks, but I didn't consider compatibility issues with that. Thanks for that info linkman.

The one thing I guess I have the luxury of at the moment is experimentation and also using my hardware to the max, since this will only be a prototype run on my machine and recorded for demonstration purposes to show off a new technique in the Football genre. This is all phase 1. Phase 2 will be a publicly playable prototype, so compatibility will be a serious concern at that point but I'll have all of those loose ends tied up by then.

I figured this out. In events, you have to go under:

-System

-Every X Ticks

And then figure out how many ticks the video is. It will automatically loop at that point. I actually used "Every X Ticks" as my beginning event for this layout page in order to make this work. I'm not sure if this will cause any conflict down the road for this particular layout page, but for now it's working.

Perhaps this information was unknown, because when I searched there was another thread on this from last year that had no replies but hundreds of views. If so, this might be a starting point for information on how to loop video in Construct.

... an AVI file continuously? I'm trying to get it to repeat infinitely in the same window. I've tried the repeat command, but nothing seems to work. It just plays once and stops.

In MMF2 I remember the event to make an AVI loop was:

(AVI): End of video ->

*(AVI) Goto beginning

*(AVI) Play forward

But I can't find an equivalent to that in Construct

... or, do they have to be resized before inserting them into Construct? So far, the AVI I've put in is resistant to size changes in Construct.

Would it be accurate to say that you can't resize video in Construct? Meaning that I'd have to resize it myself prior to putting it into Construct?

I ask because I could do that in MMF2 Dev. No big deal if I can't though.

Hmmmmm... seems like there is a resize issue. The video seems to want to be fullscreen even when I resize the width and height in properties.

Okay, I've got it now. Now I just have to figure out how to get the position to look right inside my frame. For some reason it won't position normally.

I'm not sure I'm doing this right (I'm sure I'm not).

I go to load file in events on the AVI object using "on load", I then grab the file in it's entire name (location and all) but it's saying that Construct doesn't recognize this file type.

I can live with that, but how do you actually insert an AVI file? I see no where to actually open one and insert it with the AVI object.

Video is pivotal to my prototype. I selected the .AVI object but I don't see where I can insert an actual AVI file.

Also, is there any way to get rid of the graphic timeline under the video? It's really a scene killer.
