Ren'Py How to display text during animation/video in renpy games ?

[jadarian]

I want to display dialogue during animation but could not succeed. This is how I did:

label start:
scene pic1 with dissolve
pause
show pic3 with dissolve
pause
scene pic4 with vpunch
play movie "anim1.webm" loop
MrX "Hello World"
MsY "Hello World"
pause
return

However, during animation it does not display any text. When I click, scene ends. How can I resolve this?

"The Movie displayable can be used to display a movie anywhere Ren'Py can show a displayable. For example, a movie can be displayed as the background of a menu screen, or as a background. "

image myMovie = Movie( play="anim1.webm" )

label start:
    show myMovie
    "DONE"
    return
