I have a list of videos in xml that play in order. When I submitted the channel I was told that after the splash screen it goes to black before the list of videos play. I am suppose to show the viewer that the channel is loading instead of the black screen. I have been attempting to have an image stay on the screen because for now it shows like this when click channel: splash, then black screen then video plays.
I tried some code to keep an image on the screen but the image just flickered off and on constantly even while the video is playing. So I then decided to see if I should just make it work with a buffer bar after the splash to tell viewer the channel is loading. Thought it might be a fix for it, wasn't sure.
When I tried to make the image stay on screen, this is what I did. Joel provided the following:
bmp=createobject("roBitmap","pkg:/images/myimage.jpg")
bmp.setAlphaEnable(true)
screen.drawobject(x,y,bmp)
screen.setAlphaEnable(true)
Now what happens is I get splash, then an image that flickers, then video plays and image remains flickering even when the video plays. Thought I may have the code in the wrong area so I made many changes but still the image remained on screen flickering.
After many failed attempts, the thought of the buffer bar came to mind. If you have some input on how I can make the bitmap image not flicker, maybe I can get that corrected and then I wont need to do buffer bar and make a ton changes.
Thanks.
