Playing flash file when the project is Initialize

[nagad]

There was in Version 3 an option to play an intro video. I anderstood that in version 4 there an option to play a flash file when the program is Initialized. But no matter what I did, I get an error message every time when I preview the project, that the document can't be found on the, and you can't see the flash file. What do I need to play a flash or avi file when the project is Initialized, without posting the file in a page?

The project's "On Initialize" event is probably too early; the objects might not be ready yet. Try Page "On Show" or maybe "On Initialize" (depending on what you're doing) instead.

Sorry, but it didn't work. In AM3 in project setting you could put an avi file that plays when project is Initialized. I mean that you could see the movie before the first window (or "page") is shown when you preview the project or build it. There was a tab in project setting dialog box, named "Intro Video" that offered you the option to see a startup video, before the project running. In the new version I am not able to understand what I need to do to make an avi file or movie to be played before the project running.

[Lorne]

You can't. You need to build two projects, one for the intro video, and another for everything else.

And how I make these two projects running one after the first stop? Hope I don't boder you, and thank you.

That's odd, using page "On Show" to trigger a flash movie works fine over here, even on a older system... Are you sure you had it set up to "On Show" on the second time?
