Help With A Video Array
May 7th, 2010, 8:44pm  
Hello all,

I'm trying to make an array of movies so I can loop one segment after another and have easy access to trigger other events when there is a change.  I'm having some trouble figuring it out though.

Would I make a movie array like?:

Movie[] myMovie = { "movie1.mov", "movie2.mov", etc. }

If so, then how would I call it to be played?

If I do it the long way and establish each movie like:

Movie myMovie1;
Movie myMovie2;

myMovie1 = new Movie(this, "movie1.mov")
myMovie2 = new Movie(this, "movie2.mov")

How would I then make it into an array for easy access and looping capabilities?

I could be going about this all wrong, but its just not clicking for me.

I appreciate your help, thanks.

The first example was wrong because you try to put strings in a Movie type.
The correct syntax should be:
Code:
String[] movieNames = { "movie1.mov", "movie2.mov", etc. };
Movie[] movies;
// and in setup():
movies = new Movie[moviesNames.length];
for (int i = 0; i < moviesNames.length; i++) {
  movies[i] = new Movie(this, movieNames[i]);
}

Beware of memory usage!
