Video issue

by Tasty Green Pees :-, · in General Discussion · 03/04/2006 (9:15 am) · 4 replies

I'm trying to add video in my gui. But I'm having a little problem.

see I got my .ogg video file (small.ogg) in the same dirctory as I've got my mainMenuGui.gui from where I'm calling it...

like this...

new GuiTheoraCtrl(MyVideo) {
   profile = "GuiDefaultProfile";
   horizSizing = "relative";
   vertSizing = "relative";
   position = "40 25";
   extent = "320 240";
   minExtent = "8 2";
   visible = "1";
   done = "0";
   stopOnSleep = "1";
   backgroundColor = "0 0 0 255";
};


};
//--- OBJECT WRITE END ---

MyVideo.setFile("./small.ogg");

yet I keep getting this error...

Loading compiled script tutorial.base/client/ui/mainMenuGui.gui.

TheoraTexture::setFile - Theora file './small.ogg' not found.

Why's this?

I would check file location. Make sure its right off the root.

I did. they are both in the same directory. when the mainMenuGUI everything else loads... inlcuding the bg which is also in the same directory but not the video.

The way that setFile works doesn't really allow for the use of "./". The GuiBitmapCtrls do a little extra work to see if the bitmap exists in the same directory as the gui. Theora textures don't. If you have a video in torque/example/demo/client/ui/small.ogg then you would want to call setFile like so:

MyVideo.setFile("demo/client/ui/small.ogg");
