showing image of movie sprite

[nananame]

I have a movie sprite defined:

Code: Select all

image eileen = Movie(play="eileen_movie.webm", start_image="images/eillen1.png", image="images/eillen2.png")

This works as expected when I use it.
However, how could I force Renpy to not play this but show the image instead?
For example, if I am using it in the game I want it to play (so I simply show it). But if I use it in a menu screen I want it not to play, just display the image.

Example:

Code: Select all

screen test():
    hbox:
        for image in listimages:
            add image ######the listimages contains images (duh!); some are regular images, but some are movie sprites. I don't want the movie sprites to play in this context

A movie is a movie. It is not an image.

If you need to use an image, use an image.

There are many tools which can extract the first frame of a video file for you and save it as an image.
