I know that the message is getting sent, becauase if I put an answer command 
right above the start player command, the answer box comes up when I hit 
space.  The problem is that my movie doesn't start.  I did discover that if 
I set the alwaysBuffer of the movie to true, it does play when I hit space.  
The problem with this is that the movie, while playing, doesn't show itself 
playing-it just goes to the end, and then shows the very last frame.  The 
thing that confuses me is why the start player command will start the player 
if I put it in a button, but not in the script to catch space bar.
