I have a few avi files I need to play in the game at certain points. I have some success but am unable to get the code to play the entire AVI before returning to the game.

Any examples ??

U need to make sure the video is in screen widht and height boundaries. Also make the codec is pretty common, and I didnt seem to get sound work at all.

I used this in 1 of my games:

Movie = OpenMovie("gfx\video\guera.avi")
	If (Movie <> 0) And (MoviePlaying(Movie))
		;Play starting movie
		Repeat
			DrawMovie Movie,0,0,800,600
			Flip
			Cls
			For a=0 To 102
				If KeyHit(a) Then SkipMovie = True
			Next
			If SkipMovie Then Exit
			If MouseHit(1) Or MouseHit(2) Then Exit
		Until Not MoviePlaying(Movie)
		CloseMovie(Movie)
	EndIf
