I am making an educational quest game for my grandsons (ages 5 & 8). During game play, I want to be able to, either play a movie in a large frame, or stop the game and play the movie full screen. At the end of the movie, I want to be able to return to the game play. I also need a way to abort the movie and return to the game play, if actuated by the player. Thank-you ahead of time.....the sanestmanintheworld and also Grandpa.

+ Code Snippet

//videosubroutine:
SetWindowSize(getmaxdeviceheight(),getmaxdeviceheight(), 0)
LoadVideo("login.wmv")

		playvideo()
	sleep(10) // gives it a chance to play the video before telling it its not playing and continues

	while a=1
	     if GetVideoPlaying()=0 // if video is over exit 
			a=2
	     endif
			sync() // refresh screen normally while video is playing
		endwhile
//gosub return_to_game:
