Hi all,

Thanks a lot for your coding.

To play the movie once with no skipping frame...
Graphics3D 800,600

Global movie1
Global file1$="c:\windows\clock.avi"
movie1=OpenMovie( file1$ )
If movie1=0 RuntimeError "Unable to open movie file"

While Not KeyDown(1)

	DrawMovie movie1,36,26,175,150
	If  MoviePlaying (movie1)=0 Then 
            ;----- if you want to play once only
		End
            ;----- if you want to play continuously, uncomment the following
            ;CloseMovie movie1
            ;movie1=OpenMovie( file1$ )
	EndIf

	Flip False

Wend
CloseMovie movie1

End

(It seems that "graphics3d" must be used in playing movies)

Thanks
Sammy
