Choosing player tools crashes LC7 dp-7

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Muaadh,

I just tested this and you're right, if one clicks on the player icon in 
the Tools palette, LiveCode 7 dp-7 crashes immediately.

Fortunately, you can still create a player from the message box (I found 
out about it a little later). In the message box, type

create player

and type return (or enter). A player control will be created in the 
current stack window. Double-click on the player control to open the 
properties control of the player and set the filename, showController 
and other propeties in the properties inspector. Now you can play a 
movie as usual.

It is really weird that one can create a player from the message box but 
not from the Tools palette. Maybe something is corrupt(?)

I have reported the problem here
