Right now I have a mouseUp that jumps to a frame to play a 1 min avi file. I would rather it open externally in the user's default player. How would I go about this?
 
Hi

You can use buddyAPI to find out the default player for that file extension.
Then you can use open....with to open video in that application.
Also, if you just use 'open' that would also launch the default player, but I prefer the earlier methid.
