texturing video onto rectangular area

[James Rojsirivat]

hello,

i'm working on a project and need some advice.  in the gem_movie.pd, the example has the movie file textured onto the <cube> object...in a version of the same project i'm working on, i used the <square> object onto which my file is textured.  However, ideally, i'd like the movie to retain its shape.  in the current version i'm working on, i have the <pix_movie> object connected to a <polygon> with an argument of <4>.  the x y z coordinates are assigned so that z = 0.  the problem is that when i render, i can't get anything to show up on the screen.  what am i doing wrong?  i'm including the video section of the program.  any help is greatly appreciated.

also, is there a way to create a CASE like statement in pd?  i'm using <moses> at the moment, and it seems awfully clunky.
