Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to improve the MovieMorph tutorial to update it to Squeak 4.2. I'm stuck on being able to load my .movie file into a new MovieMorph.
This is the code I have used to create the .movie file from my 3 bitmaps (frame_001.bmp, ...):
| frameCounter frameCount frame32Bitmap movieFile animationFrame | movieFile := FileStream newFileNamed: 'buddies.movie'. movieFile binary. animationFrame := Form extent: 100@100 depth: 32. #(22 100 100 32 3 100000) , (7 to: 32) do: [:i | movieFile nextInt32Put: i].
1 to: 3 do: [ :i | frameCounter := i printString. frameCount := frameCounter padded: #left to: 3 with: $0. frame32Bitmap := Form fromFileNamed: 'frame_' , frameCount , '.bmp'. frame32Bitmap displayOn: animationFrame at: 0@0. "Convert down to 16 bits" animationFrame display; writeOnMovie: movieFile]. movieFile close.
I stole it directly from the current Recipe (on the Squeak wiki) for creating a Squeak movie. It runs and creates the buddies.movie file from my bmp frame images. But I can't figure out how to load the .movie file into the MovieMorph.
Does anyone know the way to do this? Or do I have to load each frame manually? I suspect the clue is in the Form>>writeOnMovie: method but haven't had any luck figuring it out. I know I have to load in the bits of the bitmap somehow ...
I was expecting to be able to write something like this (I know, loadMovie: doesn't exist - it just seems like what one would expect to see):
m := MovieMorph new. m loadMovie: (FileStream fileNamed: 'buddies.movie'). m openInWorld
