Question

So im trying to make an easy script, which will hold a video…

And i will be able to drag the video around as i want, but the catch is… when it leaves borders of the frame, i want it to continue playing on the other side, even if its only half of the video or less…

I know how to transport it, to the other side, but not the half of it or less..

function everyFrame(event:Event):void {
    if (movie.x + 100 < 1)
        movie.x = 400;
}

Here is an image of the effect that im trying to achieve… https://i.stack.imgur.com/9H6Yi.png

Without seeing more code, I would say you need to set clipAndEnableScrolling.

clipAndEnableScrolling="true"

Try adding that to the group (Group, HGroup, or VGroup) that you have your video in.

Edit based on me understanding now…:

When the right edge of your movie touches the right edge of the screen, you will need to create a second movie and add it to the stage at a determined x of the first movie and y of first movie. I would say something like this…

onMoveOfFirstMovie():void
{
    if(firstMovie.x + firstMovie.width > movieContainer.width)
    {
        if(secondMovie doesnt exist)
        {
            //create second movie if it isnt already on stage and set it's play position to the play position of first movie
        }

        secondMovie.y = firstMovie.y;
        secondMovie.x = firstMovie.x + firstMovie.width - movieContainer.width;
    }
}

Very rough code but it should be about right.
