locutus243 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hey guys, This isn't really a support question, but then again there wasn't really anywhere this question belonged! I was wondering if anyone could point me towards somewhere I can download .avi files. I've created a GUI and I'd like some nice, small, cartoony animations to go on it, but after scouring the internet I can't find anywhere to get them from??? To be honest I can't even find online the computer avi thing AutoIT uses in its examples folder!!! If anyone knows where I could download some quirky stuff like this, or any small avi's thn I would much appreciate it. Cheers Mark P.S. I tried converting an animeted gif to an avi but my AutoIT script doesn't seem to want to play it...hence wanting an avi file! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locutus243 Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hi again, Don't worry, I'm not spamming my own post. I've been experimenting with avi files since I posted this and just can't get it to work. I don't understand how the Help File says that the function only works with .avi files, but then the example is using a .dll file??? However, even when using an Avi file it is still not appearing so I wondered I've posted my script below in the3 hope that somebody can work out where I'm going wrong!!! Thanks Mark #include <GUIConstants.au3> GUICreate ("My GUI Animation",300,200) $ani1 = GUICtrlCreateAvi ("C:\shortcuts\", "Movie1.avi", 150, 50,10) ;$ani1 = GUICtrlCreateAvi (@SystemDir & "\shell32.dll",150, 50,10) $buttonstart = GUICtrlCreateButton ("start",50,150,70,22) $buttonstop = GUICtrlCreateButton ("stop",150,150,70,22) GUISetState( ) ; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() Select case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop case $msg = $buttonstart GUICtrlSetState ($ani1, 1) case $msg = $buttonstop GUICtrlSetState ($ani1, 0) EndSelect Wend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how the Help File says that the function only works with .avi files, but then the example is using a .dll file???The example uses a .dll because the .dll contains a lot of .avi's all bundled in one file.

locutus243 Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hiya, Thanks for your suggestions. I've kept trying with the .gif file but they just don't seem to want to work. Least I understand the .dll in the Hlep File now. Don't spose anybody knows where I can get some more of these cool little .avi's like the one used in the Help File??? Cheers Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
