More specifically, there's a specific function called PlayVideo() you'll need to look it up in the Help file to learn how to use it.

For Future Reference: Please don't post without checking the helpfile and the FAQs... links are contained in the "Rules" post stickied at the top of this forum. (If a MOD has a problem with a non-MOD saying this please delete this portion).

You may wish to recode it to some more convenient (and probably less space-demanding) format like DivX or XviD though.

Reculse:
If you're polite about it, and actually try to help it's not a major problem. Just don't make a habit of it, I have to find my fun somewhere.
terrorcell:
If you're going to post like a moderator, at least be useful about it. Good job Recluse had your back.

Skaterix:
As has been said, READ THE MANUAL (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/manual/Multimedia%20functions.htm). It's not like PlayVideo is obscurely named or anything. The manual entry tells you what filetypes are supported - if you do recode them, remember that the player will need to have the same codecs you used to be able to play it back properly.
