Video playing app

[happysnail]

Hi. I'm trying to make a simple iPad app (i hope). Now i'm trying to make an app that plays an interactive video. The video plays a litte, then loops until you click on an item and make it continue. Then it'll pause again and continue this process.

So, I thought the best way to set this up is to have these as separate video files. 1. A start video 2. Looping video 3. The end. This end video would then go on to the start of the next video.

I'm brand new to all of this and learning it seems tricky as any tutorials i've found are for older versions of xcode which seem to be completely different.

The tutorial I've found helped me to create a MediaPlayer so I followed a tutorial and made a simple video that plays on button press. The problem with this is the loading and the play/pause buttons that appear. This isn't going to work if each video has to load an breaks up the flow.

Now I realise i'm at a stupidly basic level. But I just want some pointing in the right direction if nothing else; Is MediaPlayer.framework the way to go about playing these videos or is there a direct way to put them in the app. Also is there anywhere that you'd recommend for tutorials/help on starting this properly.

I'm happy to put in the time making this but I don't know where to start really.
There doesn't seem to be that much online about videos in apps which is why i'm unsure whether it's as simple as I might think. Does it seem like an achievable project.

Thanks for any advice/help.
