Hi All, I agree on this. Not being able to play movies in livecode is a severe shortcoming. I have been asking for a new video player for years. Then, to insert videos in my apps, I have been using RevBrowser to manage web pages with a flash video player . Too bad for a multimedia developer tool as LiveCode is supposed to be. All the best, Paolo
