HI there,

I was wondering how I would be able to have a video play in processing and when it stops, be able to play again from a mouse click. So in a way its looping, however by a mouse click.

This is the code I have so far, the only thing I need to figure out is the mouse click aspect.

Thanks for your help!

import processing.video.*;

Movie myMovie;

void setup() {

size(200, 200, P2D);

myMovie = new Movie(this, "movie.mov");

myMovie.play();

}

void draw() {

image(myMovie, 0, 0);

}

void movieEvent(Movie m) {

m.read();

}

I haven't tested it, but I'm guessing something like the following will work. From http://processing.org/reference/libraries/video/Movie.html

void mousePressed() {
if (myMovie.duration() <= myMovie.time()) {
myMovie.play();
}
}

You probably also want to call myMovie.noLoop() in setup().

I don't have quicktime to test but, try this:

import processing.video.*;
Movie myMovie;
void setup() {
size(200, 200, P2D);
myMovie = new Movie(this, "movie.mov");
}
void draw() {
image(myMovie, 0, 0);
}
void movieEvent(Movie m) {
m.read();
}
void mousePressed() {
myMovie.play();
}

Hey,

the code from elordini was pretty close.
But you have to jump to the beginning of the movie before calling play() again.

void mouseReleased() {
if (myMovie.duration() <= myMovie.time()) {
myMovie.jump(0);
myMovie.play();
}
}
