I can play movies in a player with no problem, and I can use scripting to change the source when I want a different movie if they are external resources,
but I'm now trying to play one after importing it as a control and I can't seem to get it to play in the player.
What should I be looking for or doing differently?
Thanks.

Hi Ron,

"players" can only play external files!

You can use the "play vc xyz" command with imported/internal videoclips,
but then you are doomed to only be able to play a very limited number of
video/audio codecs!

Read most of the currently used videos will NOT play!
Playable are: MPG1 and MOV/AVI with the "Cinepack" Codec,
not a really satisfying list...
