Open MPEG video OUTSIDE of Director -- Script needed

[firstbase]

I'm creating a small secondary Director "help" movie to be used in conjunction with a separate application. What I'm attempting to do is instruct my Director buttons to open MPEG movies OUTSIDE of the Director Window using Windows Media Player, or any other Codec that happens to read MPEG.

Does anyone have a script to do this?

Thanks! I'll make sure Santa is extra nice to you this year.

You can try it in 2 ways.

Just a simple open the moviePath &"path to your mpg"
should open the mpeg in the default player associated with it.

Else you can use buddyAPI to get the complete path of the application which is assocaited with it and use it to launch the mpg.
