You could probably set a callback event for the movie that sent a 
message to your player when the end of the movie was reached.  I 
haven't tested this but it should work.

In the properties palette for your movie you can set a callback event 
under the "QuickTime" tab (it has a little QuickTime Q).  At the bottom 
of the palette you can enter callback events.  In the column on the 
left you would enter the duration of your movie.  In the column on the 
right enter the message you want sent to the player when the end of the 
movie is reached.

Now you just need to create the script to handle the message when it is 
sent to the player.  In the script tab for the player enter:
on NameOfYourMessage
	set the visible of me to false
end NameOfYourMessage

This would hide the player when it is done.  Hope this works.
