I followed the instructions on the board here for the best way to do a movie:

• create a map from black tiles
• create an action that does:
  -- save location -- change player position to 1, 1 -- change player icon to black tile -- go to black map -- show black dialog with movie -- restore location -- change player icon to what it was

The result is a not flickering one time playing movie. So far so good.

BUT: I have to wait a looooooong time after the movie stopped before the restore location kicks in.
BUT: All dialogs now have a black background.

Or am i missing something on both points?

------------------

Okay, got o ne point:

Had to put the restore location directly behind the show dialog and everything works fin...

which leaves the second point:

What about the black dialog?

------------------

Okay found the other one as well:

I am using a pure white dialog layout so the black map can be viewed through it, but I am still able to see where the dialog fields are in the edit window.

Next I put a picture on it if I need a normal dialog: all text is positioned on top of the picture.
