Hello!
What is the best -or only - way to show intro and/or cinematic scenes? I mean, in which format should be the animation.
For an ipad full screen animation, the “full screen as spite sheet” seems not a choice, as for the 2048*2048 image size limitation.
Also, could not be the solution for long time movies.
The movieclip is the only way? Which “gives” you a loooot of image files.
Thanks!

You can play a proper video, it doesn’t have to be a sprite sheet at all - see here; http://developer.anscamobile.com/reference/index/mediaplayvideo

Thank you Peach!
It’s so simple!
Just, forgot the showControls = false option… [import]uid: 38658 topic_id: 16902 reply_id: 63768[/import]
Happy to help

Is it possible to have a text in front of the video, so to tap and exit?
For “skip” functionality. [import]uid: 38658 topic_id: 16902 reply_id: 64505[/import]
Making a opening sequence just using transitions (not video) would use a lot less space that putting a video in [import]uid: 79135 topic_id: 16902 reply_id: 64527[/import]
@Andrew - Yes but that is not always feasible. If it’s a simple animation with a couple of sprites or something jumping about, some effects, etc. then that would work. If you want a proper cinematic looking intro however, then it would not.
@photisca - I’m not certain whether or not text can be displayed on top of a video as I haven’t actually tried it myself, however common practice is to put a button above/below the clip.
