Animated Splashscreen

[farshizzo]

You can use the built-in HTML feature of Vizard to create custom HTML based splash screens. Here is a simple example:

import viz
import vizact
viz.go()

# Display HTML over entire window
viz.window.displayHTML('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1Y73sPHKxw&autoplay=1',pos=(0,0),size=viz.window.getSize())

# Hide HTML at beginning of first frame
vizact.ontimer2(0,0,viz.window.hideHTML)

"""
Load script
.
.
.
"""
viz.waittime(8.0) # Simulate long load time

Just replace the URL with your own local HTML page. This should allow animated GIFs and even flash videos
