Hello

I have created a method to play thoera vids which has worked very nicely up til know.  The problem occured when I tried to play the film on top of a close up layer.  Doing a little bit of digging around I found that it played very nicely if it was assigned to an object in that layer, however the method I use creates a dynamic entity, and didn't appear to be comfortable with the layer.  The system gave no error messages, so I can only assume the flim played "below" the layers, any thoughts

however the method I use creates a dynamic entity, and didn't appear to be comfortable with the layer.

Why not? You can dynamically add entities to any layer. Or add entire new layers for that matter. Also there's still the Game.PlayTheora() method which plays full-screen video.

I have no idea why the dynamic entity didn't work with the layer, my compromise was to set layer.Active attribute to false after that it all worked dandy.

The basic process was

the layer was activated
a new object was created which pointed at the script method
the method was called in the same script as the above two events

and with the layer.Active=true nothing happened

Once Layer.Active =false everything worked as expected.
