Backward and forward buttons for AVI video

Question

hi
is there a way to do a backward and forward buttons for AVI
video using lingo?

Answer 1

Yes it is. Use a behavior like this for the forward button:
property thisSprite
property dvSprite
on getPropertyDescriptionLIst
myPropList = [:]
myPropList.addProp(#dvSprite,[#comment:"enter the sprite
channel number for the video
sprite:",#format:#integer,#default:""])
return myPropList
end
on beginSprite me
thisSprite = me.spriteNum
end
on mouseUp me
sprite(dvSprite).movieRate = 1
end
although I'm not sure that AVI can play backwards, try this
for the reverse button sprite:
property thisSprite
property dvSprite
on getPropertyDescriptionLIst
myPropList = [:]
myPropList.addProp(#dvSprite,[#comment:"enter the sprite
channel number for the video
sprite:",#format:#integer,#default:""])
return myPropList
end
on beginSprite me
thisSprite = me.spriteNum
end
on mouseUp me
sprite(dvSprite).movieRate = -1
end
