Hi Phil,

I have tried putting in a movie clip and then tried your own demo clip and it doesn't work.
Seems it is defaulted to \graphics\ instead of /graphics/ to find the movie clip.
The player is looking in the wrong place.

Strange. Works OK on mine and I've had confirmation working OK on XP...
Does the demo movie show up in the "graphic_demo.tab" game?
I will check today anyhow.

Jason, Please download latest TAB 37.1 (deletion fix) if you haven't already and let me know if still not working...

Hi Phil,
Have the latest update already and the film doesn't work in the graphic demo game. Same error invalid path. It just wants the \ turning around on the \graphics\ part.
I'm running XP.

Hi Jason,

Can you go to Game Settings Editor for "graphic_demo.tab" and change the gfxfolder to "\graphics\" and try again.
Then try with folder set to "/graphics/"
Let me know if anything different happens.
In particular could you let me know if any dialog box or message appears if the film clip cannot play.
Thanks.

Hello,

The problems with videoplay and corrupted display are now resolved in Release 40.

I declare this topic LOCKED.
