Try VIEWPORT to "animate" your texture!

Think he's looking for animated textures for 3D objects. Try X_SETTEXTUREOFFSET for this. Use one texture with your animated steps

[Schranz0r]

i think he wants to animate a texture like a speaking mouth...

[Quentin]

hmm, guess we should ask him what he really wants   

[Schranz0r]

maybe!

To cycle animated existing set of textures, load them in to an array an cycle through them.
To project a movie on to a 3D or poly, convert each frame to png and buffer load them. Perhaps there is another way and I would be very, very interested to know.
To created texture in real-time, Schranz0r VIEWPORT suggestion is interesting because I have not tried that, but generally you can reserve a sprite by CREATESCREEN and USESCREEN to draw on in loop.

sure you can use X_SETTEXTUREOFFSET  for aminations, if you set the texture coordinates well and use a texture with the animation frames.

well iwas thinking about loading an mpeg and useing it as a texture but no

Now that would be awesome.

You can't load video files. You can however load a set of images and set the correct texture for each showscreen with a simple MOD(GETTIMERALL()/100, number_of_frames)

[Ian Price]

Rather than loading a video file, can you not play the video onto a virtual/hidden screen and grab the screen for use as a texture?

its too slow imho , my tipp is hack your avi into  bmp (avi2bmp.exe) and play the image game
