Win XP pro, MC 2.5 

 From the Message box: 

play videoClip "pathAndFilename" 

For example, 

play videoClip "C:\mananim.avi"
This ran the (MC supplied) AVI in the Home stack, then closed it when 
finished. 

Similarly, with nothing but a button in a stack, putting the same script in 
a MouseUp handler in the button in the stack plays the clip (I think it is 
centered) in the stack and closes the clip when it finishes. 

Works the same way whether in the IDE or  a built standalone.
