Category: 2D Overlay

Syntax:

b2dMoviePlaying:Int(handle:Int)

• handle : Int — movie handle from b2dLoadMovie

1 if playing or paused, otherwise 0

Returns 1 while the movie is playing or paused, and 0 when it is stopped, has finished, or the handle is not a movie. Use b2dIsMoviePaused to tell playing from paused.

A movie that is not looping becomes finished when it reaches its end, so this is how a program notices a cutscene is over.
