Hey, if you are using a canvas, is it possible to play a type of movie file right on the canvas?

I would like to know so that i can have a game intro movie that i record through source engine maps, and use it as a movie set for my tbs game.

if so, link me up :slight_smile:

You can use JMF to do this - but it’s big and heavy.

Anyone know if there are any pure Java video renderers?

does that mediaframe work for Canvas type applications? it seems to talk about applets and streaming all over the place.

i do not care about streaming since the movie is offline. Also i need to movie to work in full-screen mode.
