Play through a movie file only once

[ReAnimator]

Hi,
I'd like to use Ren'Py's movie sprites instead of ATL consists of hundreds of images.
I can play loop movie without problem but I cannot manage to play transitional movie as I intended.
Say, there's shot A and shot B. I want transitional movie in between.
How do you do that? I tried pause function but it doesn't work quite well. Ideally there's a method that plays through a movie only once. Is this possible? Sample attached.

This could help you... https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/movie.html

Especially this part? Sounds like something you need.

The movie sprite can be shown using the show statement, which automatically starts the movie playing. It will be automatically stopped when the displayable is hidden.

Code: Select all

show eileen movie

e "I'm feeling quite animated today."

hide eileen

e "But there's no point on wasting energy when I'm not around."
