Draygoes Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I have been using the help file for a little while, trying to get this to work without entirely using the example code. The interface opens, but displays nothing. I would upload the avi file, but its 180 mb. #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Local $avi GUICreate( "InvaderZim", 800, 550 ) $avi = GUICtrlCreateAvi( "\scum.avi", -1, -1, -1, -1, 800, 550 ) GUISetState(1) GUICtrlSetState( $avi, 1 ) While 1 WEnd Its been forever sence i have done any sort of interface work in Autoit, so I am kindof starting from scratch. Any help is appricated. Spoiler "If a vegetarian eats vegetables,What the heck does a humanitarian eat?" "I hear voices in my head, but I ignore them and continue on killing."

BrewManNH Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Read the help file for that function, your parameters for GUICtrlCreateAvi are wrong.

Draygoes Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) And that is exactly where I get lost: filename The filename of the video. Only .avi files are supported. subfileid id of the subfile to be used. If the file only contains one video then use 0. left The left side of the control. If -1 is used then left will be computed according to GUICoordMode. top The top of the control. If -1 is used then top will be computed according to GUICoordMode. width [optional] The width of the control (default is the previously used width). height [optional] The height of the control (default is the previously used height). style [optional] Defines the style of the control. See GUI Control Styles Appendix. default (-1) : $ACS_TRANSPARENT $ACS_TRANSPARENT is always used unless $ACS_NONTRANSPARENT is specified. exStyle [optional] Defines the extended style of the control. See Extended Style Table. I tried changing my code accordingly, but to no avail. #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Local $avi GUICreate( "InvaderZim", 800, 550 ) $avi = GUICtrlCreateAvi( "\scum.avi", 0, -1, -1, -1, 800, 550 ) GUISetState(1) GUICtrlSetState( $avi, 1 ) While 1 WEnd EDIT: I know this makes me look like a complete noob, and I accept that. Its been a long time sence I have designed anything to do with interfaces in Autoit, but why the above doesnt work makes no sence to me what so ever. I am not asking for the entire code be re-written (Its only practice anyway), I just need someone to explain where I went wrong.

BrewManNH Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Count the parameters again, your width is set to -1 your height is set to 800 and your setting the style to 500.

Draygoes Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) Now I am really confused, and as much as I wish not to ask, I must ask it anyway... Will you please show me the correct code? Its still for me to learn, but I must know the right way to handle this, and the help file is killing me, as it seems to say that I am correct. Corrected code still doesnt work: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Local $avi GUICreate( "InvaderZim", 800, 550 ) $avi = GUICtrlCreateAvi( "\scum.avi", 0, -1, -1, 800, 550 ) GUISetState(1) GUICtrlSetState( $avi, 1 ) While 1 WEnd Edited September 16, 2013 by Draygoes Spoiler "If a vegetarian eats vegetables,What the heck does a humanitarian eat?"

HeJake Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Is this important to use GUICtrlCreateAvi? You could try Media UDF located here: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draygoes Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 No, its not as important as that, but I am trying to relearn all of the functions that I missed.

Solution BrewManNH Posted September 16, 2013 Solution Share Posted September 16, 2013 Now I am really confused, and as much as I wish not to ask, I must ask it anyway...Will you please show me the correct code? Its still for me to learn, but I must know the right way to handle this, and the help file is killing me, as it seems to say that I am correct. Corrected code still doesnt work:I ran that code with an avi on my system and it worked fine. Perhaps it has something to do with the avi you're using.

Draygoes Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) Is there a size limate to the avi file or somthing? I downloaded and converted it from youtube, but it runs fine in other players... Nevermind, It only ran on one player, which tells me that you where correct. Thank you very much for your help.
