    How do I extend the duration of a movie?

      I'm new to Director and haven't been able to get my full video to play. When I publish the .exe, the video will only play for 32,000 frames. It's about 350,000 frames though. I was able to extend its length, but it will only allow me to choose 32,000 as an end frame. Please advise..

          You need to add a script to the frame script channel telling the play head to loop on a single frame, or series of frames. if you span your video sprite below this frame script it will play to completion.

           

          If you open your Library Palette (menu: Window -> Library Palette) and navigate the palette to the Navigation behaviours using the Library List drop-down at the top-left of the palette, you can drag either the "Go Loop" or "Hold on Current Frame" behaviours onto your script channel in the score (the channel immediately above where the play head, and frame numbers, are visible)

            Thanks, Sean. This did the trick! I appreciate it.
