Hey Guys,
I love the way the menu (& gameplay!) of Infinity Field works, & was wondering if it was possible in Corona by the way videos are played. You’ll see in the following screenshot that the menu is a video of gameplay with the title of the game overlaying it, also with a Tap To Continue button. Is this possible, or when playing videos, is this not allowed?
Thanks!

No. You would just have to use code from the actual game to animate images and draw the text on top of that. There’s no way to play a video embedded in an app nor put text on it. [import]uid: 10389 topic_id: 14999 reply_id: 55381[/import]
Hmm interesting. What if I had the title & text (tap to continue) as part of the video. Is there anyway to have the video have a touch event that when I touch it it changes scenes or something?

No, sorry.
I think there’s quite a few people hoping something will change with video but it basically launches the iOS video player built into the phone (or the Android one) and plays the whole video and later returns to the app. No way to do anything else while it’s playing afaik.

Dang 
I guess I’ll just create AI’s for the menu.

@matt,
are you sure that is a video? I *feel* that is being animated via code.
cheers,

Honestly not sure ;D I didn’t even think about it being AI until @WauloK mentioned it. So… my next dual stick shooter project’s menu (dang that’s a mouthful…) will have actual gameplay ;D
