animated background

[t0ddie]

im trying to make an entire background to the window, an animated picture, but i am having trouble getting past how to make the picture bigger.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("My GUICtrlRead",600,600) ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
GuiCtrlCreateAvi("sampleAVI.avi",0, 0, 0, 600, 600, $ACS_AUTOPLAY)



GUISetState ()    ; will display an empty dialog box
; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
while 1
sleep(100)
wend

i see a space for width and height.. why isnt the picture stretching out? it just stays the same size no matter what i put, unlike .jpg which works fine, but isnt animated.

*puff puff *guuurgle *glug glug glug

that actually means something.. probably only to me.. but yeah.feel free to comment on it as useless dribble.

AFAIK there is no "stretch" function......I've always tailored my GUI to the size of the image(s) I'm using.

where can i get some large .avi that i can use for a background?

im looking and finding some .avi, but they dont display, or dont work at all.

waste of time.

you cant put anything over the .avi pic.

use an animated gif.

And how, pray tell, would he get that to work? In my experience animated gifs do not animate when you put them in a GUI.

just have a bunch of jpegs and in the while loop make it change the picture

woah, that sounds like a winner, damn, now i have to redesign my gui cause thats brilliant.

EDIT: just have to figure out a way to do it without the sleep time causeing a delay in user input being read and executed, cause without sleep time the pic will change too fast., but i suppose if you used alot of pictures, and not much sleep time, it wouldnt be noticable (spread accross the entire span of the while loop of course)

Use an Adlib function
