It used to be (D4) that under Windows, all digital video was
direct-to-stage regardless of that the directToStage was set to.
If I'm not hopelessly out of date and that's still the case, you'll need
to do something like this:
<psuedo-code>
on showMenu
sprite(movieSprite).movierate = 0
-- leave an image of the movie
sprite(movieSprite).trails = TRUE
updateStage
-- and get the movie itself out of there
sprite(movieSprite).loc = sprite(movieSprite).loc + point(-1000,-1000)
make the menu pop up
end
on hidemenu
make the menu pop down
sprite(movieSprite).movierate = whatever it was before
sprite(movieSprite).trails = FALSE
sprite(movieSprite).loc = sprite(movieSprite).loc + point(1000,1000)
end
</psuedo-code>
When the menu goes away, there'll probably be a brief hole in the movie
where the menu was.
I'm not sure what to do about that.
