I had made a code that I wanted to make an easier way to play videos with preroll and midroll ads
' create and display a blank roImageCanvas to prevent the
' underlying UI from flickering between videos
canvas = CreateObject("roImageCanvas")
canvas.SetLayer(0, "#000000")
canvas.Show()
' play the preroll video with trick play disabled
if ShowPreroll(preroll)
' only play the main content if the preroll completed without user intervention
ShowVideoScreen(content)
end if
shouldPlayContent = true
adBreakIndex = 0
while shouldPlayContent
videoMsg = wait(0, contentVideoScreen.GetMessagePort())
if videoMsg.isPlaybackPosition()
curPos = videoMsg.GetIndex()
nextPod = scheduledPods[adBreakIndex]
if curPos > nextPod.renderTime and not nextPod.viewed
contentVideoScreen.Close() ' stop playback of content
shouldPlayContent = adIface.showAds(nextPod) ' render next ad pod
adBreakIndex = adBreakIndex + 1
if shouldPlayContent
' *** Insert client app’s resume-playback code here
end if
end if
end if
' *** Insert client app’s video event handler code here
preroll = {

description: "Tapping into the findings of his latest book, NYTimes columnist David Brooks unpacks new insights into human nature from the cognitive sciences -- insights with massive implications for economics and politics as well as our own self-knowledge. In a talk full of humor, he shows how you can't hope to understand humans as separate individuals making choices based on their conscious awareness."

end while
' close the blank canvas and return the user to the previous UI screen
canvas.Close()
should I set up the code like this?
