unfortunatly no...

unless you'll write your own. If you store the movie in low size images it will take up as much space as uncompresed avi file. Might be slow on the load time though.

you name all your files using numbers 1 to whatever and store them in the array, clearing them out of memory after showing so that you dont have the whole movie in memory.

think essentially a slide show, you're rapidly viewing each frame then discarding it once it's viewed.

Try This

-----------------------------------

THIS SHOULD PLAY A MOVIE BUT I WON'T BE ON THE SAME WINDOW OF YOUR TURING PROGRAM BUT IT STIll PLAYS A MOVIE!


% The "ShowMovie" program.
if not Sys.Exec ("skate.avi") then
    % The call failed!
    put "Sys.Exec failed with message: ", Error.LastMsg
else
    put "Sys.Exec successful.  Movie should now be showing..."
end if


Hope it helps

well the original post DID say not Sys.Exec

but yes, when it comes to Turing, if its not covered in their help file or here on the board, you have to code it by yourself... Then you could share it with us :D
