player object

[Simon Lord]

Can anyone tell me if the movie player objects actually work?  I 
dragged one out, set the filename to a quicktime movie on the desktop 
and I can play the movie if I state:

start player "will"

...but I'm more interested in using the actual movie controller which 
is drawn below the movie yet is completely unresponsive to any of my 
requests to play the clip, fwd, back, volume etc.

I'm running 2.5b1 build 3 on OSX 10.2.3

Sincerely,
Simon
