As long as we're talking about videoclips, is there a way to store a QT 
movie as an imported file in a stack, but still set a player to use it? 
I know I can write the movie to disk temporarily and play it from there,

but it would be cleaner if I could just refer to it in the stack. Using 
the "play" command to run it doesn't give enough control, I need to use 
a player object.






-----  Could you  give an example how to use the player object?  I did
imported the moive (MENTORS.wmv) into the stack (videoClips)




----- Does it play .wmv movie?
This is what I did:
I create a button and put this code in there
on mouseUp
   play videoClip "MENTORS.wmv" at 100,100
end mouseUp

I didnot not work. What did I do wrong?  Please help
