More & More Movie Difficulties

[Mike Brown]

Unless I am misunderstanding the Rev documentation, it states an .avi file
can be imported and played using the play command in the following script:

on mouseup
play videoclip "moviename.avi"
end mouseup

This does not use the QuickTime player.  Metacard also has this ability.
I have made a variety of avi files but can not get them to display using
that script.  Has anyone done this successfully?  If so how??

Thanks
