I didn't understand your last sentence but this may help.

PlayVideo function from the Manual:

No, unfortunately it's not possible to show avi videos and in-game graphics (backgrounds, overlays, GUIs) at the same time. A similar suggestion is already in the tracker (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/tracker.php?action=detail&id=411) so eventually it may be implemented - the tracker suggestion is about FLC animations though, and I'm not sure it would even be possible to do with AVIs due to the ways the different codecs work.

Note that there's no guarantee that this will be implemented soon (sometimes it can take years), unless it's requested more frequently by more people.
