Hi,
I've built a "soccer penalty shootout" game (for a client). There are about 50 video clips (quicktime .movs) showing different kicks and their result (randomly selected "goal" or "save") plus videos of instructions, congratulations etc. There is nearly 800MB of video - so none of it has been imported as videoclips - it's all external.
There is a serious problem on the (Windows platform - XP Pro and Home) in either Dreamcard or a Standalone (built on a Mac) when repeatedly playing video clips - showing, hiding, starting, stopping.
My last test case had two Movies ("kick" and "goal") on the same card. When the "playStopped" message is received, the "target" is hidden and the other player started.
When the crash occurs (in the Standalone) it causes an OS dialog to appear:
-----
"Soccer for Windows" has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
------
The data associated with the report usually mentions the qt.dll - but sometimes only the ntdll.dll.
When run in Dreamcard, there is no error message or anything. (I have previously wrapped try-catch blocks around everything - to no avail.)
NOTE: this error doesn't happen immediately. It usually takes 5 minutes or so before it appears. Even more peculiar, the action will continue underneath the error message.
The code for this is fairly simple and the action takes place on one card:
---- local pName on openCard start player "p1" end openCard
on playStopped # Lock messages to avoid the associated "playStopped" message lock screen lock messages put the short name of the target into pName hide the target unlock messages swapPlayers end playStopped
on swapPlayers
if pName is "p2" then
show player "p1"
unlock screen
start player "p1"
else
show player "p2"
unlock screen
start player "p2"
end if
end swapPlayers
----Has anyone encountered this problem? It doesn't happen on a Mac (so you Mac people can rest easy). Just as well Apple has released the Mini - I might have to pony-up for one to replace the PC.
