Why does video start playing before it is called in a pathway?

Hello,

I am trying to get the video to not begin playing until stage 1, but it starts right away. Any suggestions? Thank you!

PImage old;
import processing.video.*;
Movie movie;
int stage = 0;


void setup(){
size(500,500);
old = loadImage("old.png");
old.resize(500,500);
  movie = new Movie(this, "full.mov");
  movie.loop();
}

void draw(){
if (stage == 0){
  fill (255,0,0);
  rect (0,0,500,500);
  if ((mousePressed)&& (mouseX > 0) && (mouseX < 250)&& (mouseY > 0) && (mouseY < 250)){ //button on upper left side
    stage = 1;
  }
}

if (stage == 1){ 
 image(movie,0,0,500,500);
 image(old,0,0,500,500); 

}

}

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

@koogs is this solution as easy as the one you just gave me about the audio file? :)

I solved my own problem based on another post! It must start off in pause mode for zero and then play mode in stage 1.

PImage old;
import processing.video.*;
Movie movie;
int stage = 0;


void setup(){
size(500,500);
old = loadImage("old.png");
old.resize(500,500);
movie = new Movie(this, "full.mov");
movie.loop();
}

void draw(){
if (stage == 0){
  movie.pause();
  fill (255,0,0,20);
  rect (0,0,500,500);
  if ((mousePressed)&& (mouseX > 0) && (mouseX < 250)&& (mouseY > 0) && (mouseY < 250)){ //button on upper left side
    stage = 1;
  }
}

if (stage == 1){ 
  movie.play();
 image(movie,0,0,500,500);
 image(old,0,0,500,500); 

}

}

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

Don't know how to mark it as resolved.

movie.loop() starts the video iirc.

Thank you @koogs!!!

That's right, movie.loop() means "play now, and also repeat when done", not "turn the repeat flag on."
