Avi-files run here without problems (on a Windows computer) and with Metacard or
Revolution both in the player object and with the "play videoclip" command.

Also, the videoclip need *not* be a part of the stack, it can be called with
"play videoclip "xy.avi"" from the current folder or any other folder if you add
the path.
