Sorry your browser is not supported!

Just wondering is it possible to build an app with a video on it? I haven’t given it much thought and wondered if anyone has done it, if so is it as easy as adding images?

The short answer is no (assuming you mean a standard video format).

You can sort of do video like things with animated sprites.

Video commands have been added in 108 and are currently supported by iOS and Android. We will continue working to bring them to as many platforms as possible.

When will we get a list of the new commands

whats the video format?

MrV - the video commands aren't working yet.

Once it is possible to compile the new iOS player the video format will be h264 (MPEG-4 AVC) for video, with AAC or MP3 for audio in an .mp4 container. This will be the same for Android.

ah... not a bad choice... thanks Paul! any idea when it will be available? 2-4 weeks?
