Hi Mike. Ignore the man behind the curtain. I'm even nice to Tab, who seems
to have a gender identity crisis ;-)
Since I'm the ogre tonight, I have to be the one to scold you, though. When
you start a new topic, it's best to send a new e-mail with the topic name
rather than replying to an established thread. Helps us stay sane.
> i am trying to open an avi quick time and a real file in a "new window"
Hold on--is it a QuickTime, an AVI, or a Real file? Are you really trying
to do all three? Hopefully not at the same time.

I'm not quite sure where to start. First, you are looking for "open
window", not just "open"--the open command is more for opening an
application. I haven't use "open window" with a video, either--bear in mind
that in Director Land, when we say "movie," we are usually talking about a
Director file. It's confusing, I know, but we usually make a
distinction--"movie" is Director, "video" is stuff like QuickTime, AVI, etc.
I suggest you start, though, by checking Director help. Open the Lingo
Dictionary and explore some of the commands under "Digital Video." That
should get you going down the right path.
Write back and let us know if you need more help.
Cordially,
