Hi Lafamya,

1. use the "play vc" (vc = short for videoclip) command, but this only supports VERY few video formats! Not recommended!
2. Create a "player" object (the little icon with the triangle right of the image object in the Tools palette)

This (2) requires:
a. To have the video OUTSIDE of your stack (external file)
b. QuickTime to be installed on Windows!

Hope that helps.

Yes, "player" objects work right "out of the box" on Macs :D
