Tom, I gave this a try, and it does work, only it is opaque whereas my Creative Director wants the effect of it being translucent.
So as soon as it hits the video playing back, it becomes opaque (I can manage to have it translucent over other bits of the stage and desktop; using the window.blend). He's seen this on the Total Training Courses produced by Total Training for most Adobe packages and has promised our client the same. Total Training won't / can't (?) tell me how they did it - they only refered me to Adobe, as apparently they have used Adobe software. But I can't imagine which Adobe software would create an application (first of all), or allow intereactive menus being placed over a .mov file. I am mystified, and intrigued....
