    not possible right now, unless you animate it in game.

    Impossibly sadly... unless like @jonmulcahy said, you split the frames and add the sound. Good luck getting that sync'd up though. :)

    even if you got it to sync up, it'd be a huge performance hit with more than a handful of frames. :)

    the only way to get good performance would be to animate it in game using actors, scripting, whatever, just like normal gameplay.

    @jonmulcahy I have found that sometimes it is easier doing it like that... I almost always build my trailers out in GS now.

    If you want to say add a video tutorial to your game, you could create a page on your website with a video scaled to 100% and then using the open URL to open within the app you could "technically" have a video within your app/game.

    @PixelNautGames - Only when they have internet. ;) But it would be interesting to see how well that could be done.

    I use open url for house ads and it works great, video should be fine but they will need internet.

    It would be great if you could check if there is a connection available within GS. That way you could show a video when there is a connection and simply skip that when there is none.

    Rule: if connection == active { pew pew }
    else { pow pow}

    Jeebus, that would be GREAT. You could use it to show your social icons too. If online, show them, if offline, hide them.

    GameSalad gods, please add this. I can't imagine it being too hard to implement? Right!? :)

    This is something Ive wanted for a long time, but I dont see a way to do it that would raise the size of the game by a million percent if GS could add this kind of capability. You're best bet is to approach it like a motion comic. :)
