Hi, i read somewhere that i can put an animated avi movie into a dialog using the MDX.dll, so upon following the tutorial i made the following code.
alias mdx_fullpath { return $+(",C:\Program Files\MDXStudio\MDX.DLL,") }
alias mdx { dll $mdx_fullpath $1- }
alias mdxinit {
dll $mdx_fullpath SetMircVersion $version
dll $mdx_fullpath MarkDialog $dname
}
dialog anim1 {
size -1 -1 313 203
title "Dialog"
button "positioner",1001,0 0 0 0
button "OK",1,3 5 60 30, ok
button "",2,4 34 300 160
text "A bunch of text",3,63 6 173 17
}
on *:dialog:anim1:init:0:{
mdxinit
mdx SetControlMDX $dname 1001 positioner minbox > C:\Program Files\MDXStudio\dialog.mdx
}
on *:dialog:anim1:init:0:{
mdxinit
did -a anim1 2 open $scriptdir $+ test.avi
did -a anim1 2 play
}
I read that you needed a button placing in the dialog for the avi movie, so i have done that. I did everything right, and put the test.avi into the scripts folder, along with this script, issued the /dialog -m anim1 anim1 command and i get the dilaog but no test.avi anywhere, could somebody please help me and tell me where i`m going wrong ? btw the test.avi movie plays fine in my movie viewer, but not in the dialog ShadowDemon mIRC V6.03

- A single file can't have two same events. - Wrong control is used. it should be the animation control from ctl_gen.mdx - 1001 refers to a dialog control which doesn't exist. should be 2. Here's the correct init event: on *:dialog:anim1:init:0:{
mdxinit
mdx SetControlMDX $dname 2 animation > C:\Program Files\MDXStudio\ctl_gen.mdx
did -a anim1 2 open $scriptdir $+ test.avi
did -a anim1 2 play
}Hope that helped  (Note, for debugging, it's recommended to use //echo -a $dll() instead of just //dll, so if there's an error you'll see the information returned.)

Thanks online, but it doesnt seem to be working at all  Infact i`v been playing with mdx now for a few weeks, and all the tutorials ive been reading from mircscript.org (sorry for posting the url) dont seem to work, maybe i should email the writer of those scripts and tell him his tutorials dont work.

I have tested this myself, and worked here. Anyway, I have re-tested it now, with the exact folders you used, and here's the full code: alias mdx_fullpath { return $+(",C:\Program Files\MDXStudio\MDX.DLL,") }
alias mdx { dll $mdx_fullpath $1- }
alias mdxinit {
dll $mdx_fullpath SetMircVersion $version
dll $mdx_fullpath MarkDialog $dname
}
dialog anim1 {
size -1 -1 313 203
title "Dialog"
button "positioner",1001,0 0 0 0
button "OK",1,3 5 60 30, ok
button "",2,4 34 300 160
text "A bunch of text",3,63 6 173 17
}
on *:dialog:anim1:init:0:{
mdxinit
mdx SetControlMDX $dname 2 animation > C:\Program Files\MDXStudio\ctl_gen.mdx
did -a anim1 2 open $scriptdirtest.avi
did -a anim1 2 play
}This assumes, of course, that you have a file called 'test.avi' in your script folder. For this test, I used filecopy.avi, which comes with the MDX pack. Did you try working with this file? maybe your test.avi is an encoded file, which can't be played using MDX driver?
