    Honestly it depends on a lot of factors. Like image and how many other images are in the scene. Small image dimensions you will be able to do quite a few frames as long as there not much else going on. but if it large images it will prob bring your performance down a bit.

    i was thinking... i don't have pro. but couldn't i play video's using the open url behavior??
    have it go to a website inside the game salad viewer... i believe it doesnt go out to safari anymore.
    and after the allotted time on the website showing the video, go back to the game and go to the next scene?

    i am surprised i haven't seen someone try this. maybe its cause its not possible? what are your thoughts?

    I dont think it would work. especially with forcing it to come back. You could prob use open url to send someone to a video. but there would be no app rules or behaviors in the background. you essentially are pausing the game with you use the in app browser

    so currently how does the player get back to the game when they use the open url behavior?

    the close button if the in app broswer was used. if its opened externally through multi tasking. :)

    so instructions could just be given to watch the video then leave. right?

    Yes, but then they need to have Internet connection to watch it
