Thanks for the tip Richard,

Who is 'Richard'?

but I'll still need to check the video height and width to be sure it fits on the screen in the correct place. If it can't be queried once it's in the stack or subStack as a videoClip can I constrain the final imported videoClip through a script when I import it from the file? I fit the video, no more than 5 - 10 seconds worth, in a button that is the correct size, when the teacher is previewing it. That is the size I need it for later on for a student "reward". Can I play a videoClip within the rect of a button? There doesn't seem to be a lot of references to manipulating videoClips as there are with "Players".

A player is a Control, a videoClip is not

unfortunately a videoClip is shown as having dimensions 0 by 0

[ Tools/Application Browser if you right-click on your video-clip you can see its property palette ]

You can set it width and height to whatever you want:

on mouseUp
   set the width of videoClip "CALC" to 300
   set the height of videoClip "CALC" to 300
   play videoClip "CALC"
end mouseUp

 but it does NOT affect its playback size at all! a bl***y nuisance.

You can set a videoClip's size to 2,3,4 times its normal size via its property palette, but that is not really
going to help you much.
