Loading longer movie and while doing so show a small animation?

Hello all,

I want to load a movie during the sketch (and not in setup() because it takes too long then and the movie is rarely needed in the sketch) and when I load it, I want to show a small animation, to show the user has to wait.

    myMovie = new Movie(this, "my.mov");

but I can't show any animation because the sketch waits at this line...

so how can I put this in another thread of event function please?

I am lost.

Thank you all!!!

Best, Chrisir ;-)
