play movie file during iphone application startup(i.e during application loading)

Question

I want to play a movie file or any animation file till the time application not loaded completely.
Is there any simple way to do it?

Answer 1

Depends on what you mean.

The iPhone shows a still image (Default.png) while the application loads, prior to your code getting any control.

Once your code has control, you can use MPMoviePlayer to play a video. You could launch a separate thread to do whatever takes so long that you want to hide it behind a video...
