Animated Movie Backgrounds

[Aurelius]

I have successfully integrated a movie background for an animated main menu background. However, when I start the game it doesn't get rid of the animated background but instead gets rid of my image-buttons and continuously plays the movie. How do I get rid of the movie when someone pushes the start button?

Code: Select all

##############################################################################
# Main Menu
#
# Screen that's used to display the main menu, when Ren'Py first starts
# http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_special.html#main-menu

screen main_menu:

    # This ensures that any other menu screen is replaced.
    tag menu
    
    #SUCESSFUL BACKGROUND THAT CAN SHOW A ANIMATED MOVIE
    add Movie(size=(1200, 900))
    on "show" action Play("movie", "street_day_animated.ogv", loop=1)
    on "hide" action Stop("movie")
    on "replaced" action Stop("movie")
.......

The Hide and replaced methods don't seem to be working.

Do you perhaps need to do a hide on the movie in addition to stopping it?

I know I needed to do that when using animated movies for regular background images via the "show" command...

Thank you Crazy Li, such a simple answer overlooked me *facepalm*
