for each video in videoArray
  videoScreen = CreateObject("roVideoScreen")
  videoScreen.SetMessagePort(CreateObject("roMessagePort"))
  videoScreen.SetContent(video)
  videoScreen.Show()

    msg = wait(0, videoScreen.GetMessagePort())

    if msg.isScreenClosed()
      exit while
    end if
  end while
next
