Movie Problems

[SinSin]

Can someone show me where I went wrong here I went thru the manual and it said to do this ?

3          #sectionstart game_start  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
4             function game_start
5            PlayVideo (wwot2.avi,1,1);
6             // called when the game starts, before the first room is loaded
7            }
8           #sectionend game_start  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE

But it wont work it says
Error (line 4) expected ',' or ';' not PlayVideo
Have i missed something ??
Cheers

PS wwot2.avi is in the compiled folder and i know that its spelt correctly

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you can call a movie before a room loads.

Line 4:

Code: ags

function game_start 

Should be:

Code: ags

function game_start () {

How'd you manage to delete that bit? (I'm guessing it's not just a typo here, because deleting the () { causes exactly that error.)

Oh, and you definitely can use PlayVideo in game_start.

Righty o

i tried it again without typos and now I'm getting
undefined symbol "wwot"

HMMM

[Ashen]

Dang, missed that bit. The video name is a String, so it has to be in quotes:

Code: ags

PlayVideo ("wwot2.avi",1,1);

Otherwise, it'll be looking for a String called wwot2.avi to get the name from, not a file by that name.
