Load a movie from a defined variable

[Jezzy]

Hello!

I'm trying to load a movie from a random value from a defined array to a variable :

I have a simple array/list such as stage_loop = ["path/to/movie.webm","path/to/movie.webm","path/to/movie.webm","path/to/movie.webm"]

When I try :

Code: Select all

$ selected_movie = random.choice(stage_loop)

image current_scene = Movie(play=selected_movie)

show current_scene 

I get a black screen. However, If I set my image with a string

Code: Select all

image current_scene = Movie(play="path/to/movie.webm")

show current_scene

It work.

I'm puzzled because I don't get any error when I try to give my variable a random choice from my array. I know my variable is correct when I output the result to the screen using a sayer (i.e. narrator "Var = [selected_movie]", I see on screen the path/to/movie.webm). I don't get any error message; only a black screen.

My question is : is it possible to load an image movie from a variable?

I figure it out by myself. Using movie_cutscene instead of movie fixed my issue
