Showing text box while movie is playing, how to?

[jwilliams77]

I'm having trouble and read through what I could find, figuring out how to play the text box that's normally over the scene bg images in my game.

Following is what I have for code:

Code: Select all

    play movie "images/file.ogv" loop
    "Some narrative text."
    character "Dialogue."
    "More narrative."
    stop movie

I changed the text to be generic above, but, the "Some narrative text." doesn't show on screen at all. If I have this:

Code: Select all

    scene bg image01
    character "I talk and it shows in the box area with my avatar on the side."
    "Or the narrator is talking and giving descriptions, this shows perfectly as well."

I'd like to figure out how to show the text as in the 2nd example above in the 1st, where right now the movie shows, but, the text isn't there.
