launching online and offline movies.

thanks to all the good post on here about mega-changers, i do have my setup running both online and offline movies, and it's awesome! my question is about the play movie and play offline movie events (i'm using naylia's xlobbymc skin).

how do you condition the zoomplayer control screen to only execute if the movie is online. as a patch to defeat this, i just put a goto screen command as the first step of the "play offline movie" event so as soon it goes to the zoomplayer control screen it changes right back to the movie details screen...

I think it's on the files type setup screen where you can specify on offline command (but it could be somewhere else, I'm away from home for the holidays and can't check exactly). Then it will execute the offline event instead of the usual event.

i setup an offline event and it does work. if the movie is online it launches zoomplayer if it is offline it doesn't do zoomplayer and it runs the offline movie script which is what it should. the problem is in both cases it launches the zoomplayer remote control.

as i write this, i realize that everything is working just like it should. i guess what i need to figure out is how to stop the zoomplayer control screen from launching when the movie is offline....

my play movie event is pasted below...

play movie event
stop
goto (zoomplayer contro screen)
execute (play movie)


it doesn't seem to matter if i swap the last two lines... the only reason that i put the goto screen before the execute is changes back to the movie details screen that way (i have a goto movie details command as the first step of the play offline movie event).

thanks!
