Yes, can confirm this, if you have a movie but have not yet assigned
it to a MoviePlayer, REALgetMovieMovie returns nil. However, it
appears that the following will work before the movie is presented to
the MoviePlayer:
if (movieObject == nil) return;
Movie theMovie = REALgetMovieMovie(movieObject);
if (theMovie == nil)
{
long handle = 0;
REALGetPropValueInt32((REALobject)movieObject, "handle",
&handle);
theMovie = (Movie)handle;
}
if (theMovie == NULL) {
return;
}
Thanks for the feedback,
Alfred
