Hi Danny,

Thank you so much for the work you put into this. There's a problem on my end.

It works better, in that the app doesn't crash; but, after the movie plays, the screen goes black. I assume the movie ended and app stays in intro.lua which is black because there is no background graphic or there is an empty movie window?

I tried building as iPad and Universal to see if it made a difference on the device. It didn't.

I tried placing movie.removeSelf() before/after changeScene and after return true. Still goes black.

Why would this work for you and not for me? Could it be different iPads? I have a first generation.

What the what?

No probs. Did you try using only the code i posted in intro.lua and nothing else?

If not try it exactly as is and report back :)

Hi,

First, I deleted the content of the intro.lua that I sent to you and replaced it with the code you posted, exactly that and nothing else. When that didn't work, I tried the remove code.

The code successfully worked for me on a iPhone 3gs. Maybe the issue lays elsewhere perhaps

Hi,

Maybe it's a playVideo bug on the iPad?

Ironic, build and config specs are for the iPad as is the 640x480 video; it runs seamlessly on the 3g phone and not the iPad. Gotta love it :)

If you have any epiphanies, please send them along. I posted this on the Director class forum too. Is there another 'best' post location? Or someone at Ansca who specializes in video code?

Thanks very much for your time.

Best,

LB

I personally don't currently have an iPad to test on which is a bit of a pain, will be getting one next month but that doesn't help you much :P

I will forward this on to the other team members who can test it on a iPad for you :)

That would be great. Thanks very much for your help.

Just got an iPhone 4. Tried testing on that; it can't find a valid signing identity. All other test devices can find it. Just not the iPh4. Always an adventure :)

Thanks, again, for your time. I appreciate it.

Problem solved!

With special thanks to Ricardo Rauber, Rafael Hernandez, and Danny@ansca, this code now works on iPad 1:
