Playing a movie (mp4) intro

  If you are using scenemanager you could create an intro scene that is loaded as first, then you switch to another scene (menu/game/...).
  I believe there is an event to catch ad the end of the video in media plugin (but I never used it, I could be wrong), or you could use a timer since you know the duration of the video.

  Thanks a lot. I will check the github. Other related question, is it smart to use a MovieClip with for example 500 png images to do the job? This is what I did in the first place. The extracted movie frames are full screen (640x480) with a size around 100k. I can imagine that your whole game will become very slow. What is your opinion?
  
  Best regards,

  @Dikkesnoek that's actually interesting point. I assume it would be slower, and since all is loaded in memory, you would probably run out of it on smaller devices.
  
  Since you tried it, tell what was your experience

  Hi ar2rsawseen,
  
  I've tried the simulator on de Mac and with the Gideros app on the iPhone.
  I will take indeed some time to load all the images. The app will crash with
  this solution. We are gona try yoursolution.
  
  Thanks,
  
  Marc

  You can convert wmv to mp4 with Video Converter software so as to have a smooth playback.

  I highly recommend the free and open source Handbrake (Win/Mac/Linux) app for converting videos. http://handbrake.fr

  @ar2rsawseen Never knew about the media player plugin and just tried it out. The autorotation is broken under iOS8+ ... I've logged an issue with it on github and will take a look into fixing it this week and submitting a pull request. I need to do this with a current project of mine anyway and was about to create a Gideros iOS video player (-;

  Are your WMV files large? If not, you can try some online converter, such as Convertio, FreeFileConvert, you can search more. If you want to convert a batch of WMV quickly and losslessly, you can try Joyoshare Video Converter.

  Where did I watch this trailer? But I remember I watched. Is there any way to review it?
