im stuck on line 36 like i dont know what to do after this what command should i use??

Chrisir

In line 37 you want line 17 and also set a boolean playMovie to true here which you then use in line 41 above

kfrajer

You declare a global boolean variable indicating if you video is playing or not. When the value goes beyond the threshold, you set the boolean value to true and call the movie's play() function.

boolena isPlaying=false;  //Global access
(...) 
(...)
(...)
if (result1 > 30  && isPlaying==false) {
   isPlaying=true;
   myMovie.play();
}

Having the boolean value checked in the conditional is important so in case your sensor goes above 30 a second time, it does not call play movie again.

@james

Sorry, that means any previous code. I just wanted to emphasize the usage of a global variable. The changes I suggest needs to be implemented in line 36 of your code. Please also follow @Chrisir's direction.

james234

but is that needed ? and chris direction line 37 and 17 in empty

james234

jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj

Chrisir

you did it wrong.

james234

chrisir so what can i do? please this really urgent and this is my first time coding i am so sorry for the troubles.

Chrisir

you need to rethink your usage of isPlaying

james234

chriss omg your a legend mate, thank you soooooooooooooo much

Chrisir

also please use ctrl-t in processing to auto-format your code

Global access means it is declared before setup(): boolean isPlaying=false; must be before setup()

Further remarks

• You also kept this myMovie.play(); in setup which started the movie immediately. Bad.

• You also had this image(myMovie, 0, 0); without the if-clause if (isPlaying) { // !!!. Bad.

• remove all !!!! now

by the way

• This isPlaying==false is the same as !isPlaying

• This if (isPlaying==true) { is the same as if (isPlaying) {
