Hi Everyone,
I am getting an iPhone app developed and at the start of the app there is an animation. My developer has told me I have to give him the animation as a quicktime movie and also the first frame of the quicktime movie as a png. I have done this but when he sends me the test version of the app, you see the png and then it flicks to a black screen for maybe half a second and then the animation begins. He has told me it is not possible to start an app with the quicktime movie playing from the very beginning and that there has to be a static image (the png) before the movie can play.
I just want the app to load up and play the animation straight away without any pause and black screen, is this possible?
I was thinking that if I gave him an entire png sequence of each frame of the animation (instead of a quicktime movie) that this would overcome the problem of the pause (black screen) before the quicktime movie starts after the intial png frame. I hope this makes sense!
There is also audio with the animation that need to be exactly in sync with what you see when the animation is played.
Any advice would be appreciated as what he is telling me just doesn't seem right.
Thanks,
BankC!
