so i was writing a code that will play a movie when redstone is recieved and clear a monitor next time it recieves a redstone update
looking a bit like this:
local on = 0
while true do
event = os.pullEvent("redstone")
if on==0
on = 1
shell.run("monitor", "top", "secret/alongtimeago")
end
if on==1
on = 0
shell.run("monitor", "top", "clear")
end
end
the thing is i have to terminate the movie before the script moves on to clear it.
the problem is i dont know how to turn the movie off while its playing
i was hoping one of you could provide some help.

is this the only functionality the program will have? or will you have it do more after it has stopped the movie?

You will have to modify the source of the movie itself.

Not true. there was a post on here not that long ago that i think Orwell answered with a solution, however the solution means that after stopping the movie the program can't want to do anything else.

No you don't
put this on the computer that is connected to the monitor
http://pastebin.com/V6DVJn8Yand put this on a computer you want to control it from handles multiple different players at ounce.

Even that is overkill compared to the solution that who ever it was gave, but, it works :)/>

I just constantly spam the "View New Content" button and see almost every new post. I still remember that day where you got about 150 posts in one day. I capture a picture of it earlier in the day before that. I sadly only captured the image when you got 117 posts in a day.

I have the Imgur extension installed so I can take a photo in about 3 seconds. And this is getting wayyyyyy off topic. Now we just need to stop bumping this or Cloudy will yell at us.

Parallel is an API that allows multitasking. all the functions called within parallel run concurrently (kinda).
EDIT: There are 2 kinds, waitForAll() which must wait for all function to finish before continuing. and waitForAny which can continue after the first one has completed.

If you want the English definition then google it. But there is a parallel API in CC that runs one action for a short amount of time then another action for a short amount of time making it seem that they are running at the same time.
