Hi everyone! When I use a movie in my game, there's a small delay before it plays, so for example if I transition to a movie backdrop, for a split second you'll see the transparent background before the movie starts playing, meaning I can't get a smooth transition into the movie, is there any way around this? Perhaps a way to preload videos so they play instantly when called or something like that?
Thanks in advance fro any help

Re: Delay on video playback?
I'll look into preloading videos and audio at some point, but for now, 6.99.14.1 should help with this some. You might also want to put the movie on top of a background of the first frame, which you'll see instead of the movie until it's loaded.
