I finally figured it out-- the bizarre behavior described in the last message is due to my using (the default on MX Linux) pdf viewer Qpdfview.  When I use Evince all works as it should.  Live and learn.

I have made some progress in being able to play a movie from the pdf output of a Lyx/Beamer presentation.  It turns out that it DOES work if I insert a hyperlink pointing to the movie file on my computer, but this miracle happens ONLY if I am NOT in full-screen (presentation) mode.  In presentation mode (stupidly, I usually run presentations in presentation  mode.. ;-) nothing happens when I click on the link in the pdf file.  If I take it out of presentation mode (hit escape), the link has a frame around it, and that frame must bring it back to life, and makes it clickable.  Who knew?

One idea Ehud,
Given what you signal, does your LateX installation include the package hyperref? Maybe LyX cannot find it and hence does not propose this option.
Because your Lyx version is recent enough to have this option normally.

Hi Murat,
I do believe that SOME people have it working, but, as you can see from my response to Udi today, this exercise has uncovered some problems with my Lyx installation.  When I have more time, I shall scrub and re-install it, unless I find out before what is failing/missing.
Thanks for your help--

Hello again Ehud,
Here is a screen capture video of what I have under OS X.

Hi Murat,
I think you are on the right track.  I do want the active link to be in the pdf output of the Lyx file, not in the Lyx file itself.  So I clicked: Insert/Hyperlink in the main Lyx menu.  However, when I go to the Document/Settings/Pdf properties I find no "
Use Hyperref support" there.  When I select: Use Class Defaults the link appears colored in the pdf output, but it is just as dead and useless. So I feel that some progress has been made, but not enough to do what I am trying to do.
Thanks,
Ehud Kaplan

And for the link to be active in the compiled PDF documents, I think you need to check “Use Hyperref support" in the PDF panel of document properties.

Dear Ehud,
Maybe I have not understood your request. 
Inserting a hyperlink will create an active link in the compiled PDF document and not in the document in LyX. Maybe you are looking for the second option. Then I do not know if it is possible.

I tried to insert a url into a lyx/beamer document. I naively thought that all I had to do was click: Insert/url with the cursor at the frame where I waned the url to appear and be clickable.  Unfortunately, all I got was the text of the url, and clicking on it did nothing.  
   For some reason 
I am convinced that Lyx CAN do that, but it failed in my hands.  What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Ehud Kaplan

Dear Ehud,
I think that what you are looking for is Insert Hyperlink.
Best,
Murat
