# Preload Movie

Grammar — Preload file|Movie File queue|Immediately/For Next Map
Flags — Native | Action

Preloads a movie. The file must be explicitly identified (it won’t work if you plug in a variable to that parameter). Preloading will force an asset or data entry to be loaded into memory before the map starts, rather than be loaded on demand as the map runs.

# Arguments

• string [ filepath ] — File
• bool [ preset::PreloadQueue ] — Queue

Returns — void

native void PreloadMovie(string path, bool queue);
