Tcl/Tk can't do this, but on UNIX systems the most recent versions of
XAnim can: you can pass the window it should draw into as a command
line parameter. Our product MetaCard uses that feature (which we
implemented and contributed to XAnim) to play video clips in MetaCard
stack windows. You can get more information on XAnim from
http://xanim.va.pubnix.com/, or download binaries for most UNIX
systems (which are included in the MetaCard distributions) from the
MetaCard WWW site http://www.metacard.com/
If you want this to work on Windows or Mac system, you'll need to get
product like MetaCard that has built-in support for movie playback.

Scott
