Command Index · BlitzBasic · Movies

MoviePosition:Float32 movie:Int32

Parameter	Mode	Type	Default	Description
movie	In	Int32	required	A movie handle from OpenMovie.

Returns: The position in seconds, or 0 if the movie is not open.

Description

〔BlitzLLVM〕 This command does not exist in the original Blitz products. BlitzLLVM adds it.

Gives where a movie is, in seconds from its start. The position counts the time that the movie plays: it stands still while the movie is paused (PauseMovie) and stops at the end of the movie. Asking for it starts a movie that was not drawn yet, like MoviePlaying. This is a BlitzLLVM extension: the originals do not tell where a movie is.

Differences

• A debug build (-d) stops the program when the movie does not exist, for example the 0 of a movie that failed to open, other builds ignore the command, see Debug handle checks.
