Tom, Thanks. The movie is part of a slide show type presentation, so just playing it in a browser window might be best. I have done this in the past using the cref browser, but it adds a lot to the app size.
Not being able to play movies in livecode, is a severe shortcoming, and I hope the player can be updated soon.
