Playing AVI files

[josmond]

I am trying to play an AVI file within my form. I have tried using the microsoft animation control but getting 'Could not open this AVI file' - I think it could be a compressed AVI file that i am trying to play, but if you right click in explorer and click preview (which is exactly how i would like to see it) it plays it no problem.

Try the ActiveMovie Control, ie.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    ActiveMovie1.FileName = "Wizards\PDWizard\Working.avi"
End Sub

Private Sub ActiveMovie1_OpenComplete()
    ActiveMovie1.Run
End Sub
