Multiple Startup Movies?

[klee26]

I have multiple video clips for use as a startup movie. I would like to have a random one of these play as the startup movie for my project. So they may get movie A or the next time they may get movie B or C, etc.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

I'll stab at this and say that it can be done with a separate app. Just brainstorming here, but if you tell the primary app to randomize a commandline argument to start one of the movies (let's say you have 5 movies - random 1-5)....I think you get the idea? Put all of your movies into one app (to accept CommandLineArg) and call from the primary.

you could use the Dialog.SplashVideo action to show the video instead of using the intro video feature:

tblVideos = {};

tblVideos[1] = {File="AutoPlay\\Videos\\Magnolia.mpg",Time = 11};
tblVideos[2] = {File="AutoPlay\\Videos\\2-21-05.avi",Time = 27};

local nNumVideos = Table.Count(tblVideos);

local nRandomIndex = Math.Random(1,nNumVideos);

Dialog.SplashVideo(tblVideos[nRandomIndex].File,tblVideos[nRandomIndex].Time);
