I need to use a .AVI file for a game I'm making, but I need it to be behind another object. Do Multimedia Objects in TGF really have no layer?

Am I missing something obvious or do I really have to redo the clip?

uhh, if you really wanted to you could save each frame of the .AVI as a picture, than use an active picture object to display the pictures, changing every .03 seconds or something. You might also be able to find an ActiveX control that plays. AVI, but that might have the exact same problem as the AVI object.

Yeah, I just redid the clip. But now, as it turns out, the transparent color I used ends up as white in TGF! Oy...

Doesn't that uncompress it basically?

So you saved each frame of the avi into an active object, and the transparency turned white?

Well...you may need to go into each frame of the active object and drop the transparency color into the white spaces. That may not be too successful, though, cause you may still end up with white artifacts.

Or, if you could change the transparent areas in your AVI to black, and then cut and paste them into the active object, TGF should read the black as transparency. Does that help at all?

If you're doing that, to save times you could convert it to an .flc and import it directly from that to an active object. However, I think the quality will be pretty rubbish and it will take up loads of space because it basiclly means you won't have any compression.

I haven't tried this - but can you not use subapps? You could have a subapp with target as say a CCN file, which contains the avi. But I'm not sure if you can put active objects or anything over subapps - I think you can but I can't try now becuase im too lazy to install MMF on my new PC..
