Video & interactivity

[Thingee]

Hey guys,

Quick question - let's say I've embedded a mammoth-sized video file (say, an .avi or a .mpg or whatever) that needs to basically then interact with the movie... for example, when the movie finishes playing (streaming, whatever), the .swf or Projector file needs to jump to another scene.

How do I get the video to tell Flash that it's finished playing?

Any solutions / alternatives are greatly appreciated.

Do you mean this *gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", 1);* on a frame, u may also consider different .swf, deppending on what u want, the size etc.

ok i did something like this. what you can do is have various bits of video loaded into a movieclip symbols. then you drop the symbols into stop frames on your main timeline. at the end of your embedded movie place _parent.nextframe() ot if you've got various buttons onrelease jumping to a particular frame number.
Problem with this is it's not so fast for CD delivery if your movie files are big - haven't tried it on the web, but works fine for kiosk style delivery.

why dont you just UnLoadMovie Level once your movie stops streaming, then load a new LoadMovie Level? This should allow you too jump to the next scene.
