Insert a kind PopUp during the shop of a video

[Arclight]

If a Vidoe is loaded, it takes a few seconds to it is there. In this time I try to insert I a "PopUp" or "request control rooms". How can that be done? This is to again disappear after the beginning of the Viedeos, it is the waiting period to shorten.
Best thanks already in advance!

What you can try is to use the Dialog.Busy action. To get it working the way that you have described:

For my example I used a text object to load the video into a pre-existing Media Player Object:

MediaPlayerObject[MediaPlayer1].Load("%SrcDir%\video1.mpeg")
Dialog.Busy("TRUE","Please wait....")

Now go to your Media Player Object -> Actions and change the event to "On Play" and enter the following action:

Dialog.Busy("FALSE","Please Wait...")

This worked well for me when I tried this out but make sure that you test it to make sure that it works as you want it to.

Your advice to use the action - Dialog Busy during loading time of an mpeg file into the media object/player works in my current project not exactly the way to make me happy. While pushing the play button to start the video there is always an awful long period where nothing (visible) happened. Having the project burned onto CD the waiting time is even longer, up to 25 sec. The “please waiting..“ sign flickers in for only half a second or so but this direct before the video starts. Is there no other, more elegant solution to inform the user that the video is loading and will appear in a while?
And one more question: how to create a short cut icon on the desktop of the user to start the project again?
Thanks and best regards
