hey so i'm not great at using max. I've been trying to make a patch that allows me to play random videos in the same window and have this coordinate with another window also playing random videos so that when the first random video ends in one window, this triggers a random video from the second window.

i've tried setting up a basic random video generator, however so many issues are occurring.

here's a patch that bounces back and forth between 2 videos.

the trick is to enable loopreport, which sends the loopnotify message out the outlet when it's reached the end of it's looppoint (or the end of the file if looping is disabled). you use this notification to toggle the metro gate to the other movie, and tell that movie to start playing from the beginning.

take note of the typed in attributes to jit.movie. look them up in the jit.movie reference file if you don't know what they are (right-click on the jit.movie object to open the reference).

honestly using the help menu and references kind of make sense, but its still super confusing, at least to me. I have trouble understanding what max help is trying to tell me. 

im going to try to make sense of this patch. can u explain the trigger and how you came up with gsswitch2? this is all super new to me it would of been nice if you were able to work off of my code maybe with something simpler? but im sure it doesnt work that way

that's really great thanks!
