Hallo!
I have the following (basic) GEM problem (and some ascii-art ;) :
I have 2 movies running with pix_film which are rendered on rectangles with the same size over the whole screen and I want to see only a part of each movie (see illustration):
from movie A:
| | | | | | | |-------| | | | partA | | | | | | | |-------| |
from movie B:
| |--------| | | | partB | | | | | | | |--------| | | | | | | |
together:
| |--------| | | | partB | | | |(movieB)| | | |-------| |--------| | | | partA | | | |(movieA| | | |-------| |
So I tried to lay black rectangles over the movies and let free partA,partB so that one can only see these parts. But this does not work for multiple movies, because then I only see the movie with the highest gemhead priority (and also with alpha blending it was not possible) ...
So my question: is this possible without additional pix_* commands ? (e.g. texturing only a part of the movie onto a rectangle ... ?) If yes has someone an idea how ?
Thanks for any hint, LG Georg
PS: if this is too confusing I can send an example patch ;)
