Hey ya!

I am just trying to get a movie to load using this tutorial: http://docs.garagegames.com/it2d/official/content/documentation/Tutorials/iOS%20Series/Media.html and it keeps throwing up an :

game/scripts/Navigation/Nav_Button.cs (36): Unable to find function playiPhoneMovie

I am using Mac, iTorque 1.4.1

Here is the code I am using to call it
.....

else if(%ButtonName $= "Nav_PlayMovie")
{
echo("playMovie");
%found = playiPhoneMovie("~/data/animations/Test_MainEngineRoom", "m4v", 0, 0);
if(%found)
{
echo("found");
}
else
{
echo("notfound");
}
echo("end play");

.....

am I missing an import step or something, I have ios Movie player & music support on.

Thanks :)

    @Anna - Just to verify, the checkbox "Movie Player Support" in the editor for the project is on? Which version of Xcode and the iOS SDK are you using?

    The only reason the function would not exist is if the preprocessor definition TORQUE_ALLOW_MOVIEPLAYER is not enabled. When you click the checkbox, the T2DBuild.xcconfig file is updated to define that definition.

    If the checkbox is not working, then you have discovered a bug I need to fix.

    Michael: Ok found it!! :D. The play movie chucks an error in TGB sim. Once I tweaked the pathing, the playiPhoneMovie doesn't seem to like the "~/" part and changed my data blocks, too many blocks loading at the same time as the movie was causing it to crash, i got it working. Thanks for the help :) Sorry for the bother.

    I am using the xCode Version 4.0.1, Build 4A1006 to ios 4.3 so you now know it works on that. :)

    To other n00bs to iTorque such as myself : Just an FYI many of the iTorque platform specific functions have no sim equivalent in the TGB you have to test them on a device or write pc specific code to test the functionality, the i specific functions just throw up errors when not on the device :)

    @Anna - Great! Glad you got it working. I'll be around the forums if you run into any other errors.
