Can ProcessingJS handle a new Movie

Jeanine

The sketch works fine as a Processing sketch, but when I attempt to upload the .pde file, and use an html file to access it, it appears to halt when the code tries = new Movie(this,"sink.mp4");

A version of this in straight HTML and JavaScript works fine: http://faculty.purchase.edu/jeanine.meyer/html5/origamifish.html

@Jeanine Are you using preload to load your movie?

Jeanine

When I use preload, the sketch does not work at all in ProcessingJS. When I don't use it, the program stops at the first sink = new Movie(this,"sink.mp4");

Just like: http://processingjs.org/reference/preload/

Your reference says the preload is just for images. It does not appear to work for video files.

Pjs can only use JS libraries. And Movie is a Java library though. :(
My advice: Convert your Java sketch to p5.js instead: *-:)

1. https://p5js.org/reference/
2. https://p5js.org/reference/#/p5/createVideo
3. https://p5js.org/reference/#/p5.MediaElement
4. https://GitHub.com/processing/p5.js/wiki/Processing-transition

You can use PDE's p5.js Mode too: :-bd

Thank you! I already have a version of this in HTML JavaScript, which I did some time ago (see previous comments). So I will let this go.
