Movies Handler
Feb 24th, 2008, 1:48am  
Hello everybody.

I'm working on a code that would be able to handle the loading of different movies according to the keystroke being pressed.
Initially i was repeating the "new Movie" instruction every time a key was pressed. Then i noticed that after a while the applet was crashing, probably because cpu was overloaded.

So... now i changed a bit the code:  with a single callback to "new Movie". The problem i'm facing now is this one now: the movies are not loaded anymore when i press a keystroke.

Any idea? :)


import processing.video.*;

Movie movieHandler, mov1, mov2, mov3, mov4, mov5, mov6;
int playing=0;

void setup() {
 size(640, 480);
 background(0);

 mov1=new Movie(this,"1.mov");
 mov2=new Movie(this,"2.mov");
 mov3=new Movie(this,"3.mov");
 mov4=new Movie(this,"4.mov");
 mov5=new Movie(this,"5.mov");
 mov6=new Movie(this,"6.mov");

 movieHandler = mov6;
 movieHandler.loop();
}

void draw() {
 background(0);
 image(movieHandler, 0, 0);
}

void movieEvent(Movie m) {
 m.read();
}

void keyReleased() {
 playing=1;
 movieHandler.stop();
 switch(key){
 case '1':
   movieHandler = mov1;
   break;

 case '2':
   movieHandler = mov2;
   break;

 case '3':
   movieHandler = mov3;
   break;

 case '4':
   movieHandler = mov4;
   break;

 case '5':
   movieHandler = mov5;
   break;
 }
 movieHandler.play();
}

ok, finally I think to have obtained what I was looking for..
here I share my crafty solution...

import processing.video.*;

Movie movieHandler, mov1, mov2, mov3, mov4, mov5, mov6;
int playing=0;

void setup() {
 size(640,480);
 frameRate(60);

 mov1 = new Movie(this, "1.mov");
 mov2 = new Movie(this, "2.mov");
 mov3 = new Movie(this, "3.mov");
 mov4 = new Movie(this, "4.mov");
 mov5 = new Movie(this, "5.mov");
 mov6 = new Movie(this, "6.mov");

 // mov6 = default movie to be played when no interaction occurs
 movieHandler=mov6;
 movieHandler.loop();
}

void draw(){
 background(0);
 // if a selected movie playing...
 if(playing==1){
   float md = movieHandler.duration();
   float mt = movieHandler.time();
  // if the selected movie has came to his end...
   if(mt >= md) {
    //... restore the default movie
     movieHandler.loop();
     playing=0;
   }
 }
 image(movieHandler, 0, 40);
}

void movieEvent(Movie m) {
 m.read();
}

void keyReleased() {
 // set the flag=1.. the selected movie is playing. stop the default one.
 playing=1;
 movieHandler.stop();

 switch(key){
 case '1':
   movieHandler = mov1;
   break;

 case '2':
   movieHandler = mov2;
   break;

 case '3':
   movieHandler = mov3;
   break;

 case '4':
   movieHandler = mov4;
   break;

 case '5':
   movieHandler = mov5;
   break;
 }

 // rewind & play
 movieHandler.jump(0);
 movieHandler.play();
}
