video_open

This function opens a video file using the path specified. The path can refer to a file in the Included Files of your project, a file locally present on the user's device, or a URL for loading a file from the internet (which may not work on all platforms).

As you can only load one video at a time, this function loads the specified video into the only available "video slot", which is then manipulated via the other Video functions.

There are asynchronous callbacks associated with video playback. See Async Callbacks for more information.

 

Syntax:

video_open(path);

Argument	Type	Description
path	String	Path to the video file

 

Returns:

N/A

 

Example:

video_open("splash.mp4");

The code above loads splash.mp4 from the Included Files of the game.
