is it possible to put a avi or a gif file all in one exe file like how c++ do but in vb i heard you can how can i ??

i think you can either, just add it, and it stays, or add it into "User Documents"

No, no, no, children.

Gifs can just be put in pictureboxes or image controls.
AVIs and other stuff need to be put in a resource file or loaded from an external file.

yeah, remember:

if you put it in a picbox or .res file, it goes in the exe
if you load it with code, ie.
pic1.picture = loadpicture(app.path & "\me.bmp")
then it doesnt go in the exe and you have to distribute the file with your prog. The more stuff you have in your exe, the slower it is, remember
