Monte,

I don't know if the libURL is needed.  I tried it both with it 
installed and without.  You can test it with another button that starts 
the player.  The movie is being hosted on the net.  So my exact 
situation can be tested by anyone.

Below is the code I am using.  I have it in a setup button for now:

on mouseUp
   global userSelection
   if exists (player "movie") then delete player "movie"
   new player "movie"
   set the filename of player "movie" to empty
   put "rtsp://131.96.156.185/Blackwater.mov" into movieLocation
   set the filename of player "movie" to movieLocation
   set the height of player "movie" to 378
   set the width of player "movie" to 532
   set the topleft of player "movie" to 70,134
   exit to top
end mouseUp

I have tried it both with the Rev IDE open and closed.  Thanks for 
taking a look at this.
