What is the best way to show movies? 1

Hi
What is the best way of showing movies in my app?
I notice the Windows Multimedia Player (the latest one I downloaded recently) appears in the Components list and I can place it on the form but I can't see how to load and run the file.
There is no help for it that I can see althiough there are an incredible number of thingys in the drop down list!
Anybody shed light on this or any other better idea?
Ted

Hello,
I am currently writing a custom media player for a friend of mine. I am using the WindowsMediaPlayer Control. My first question is what version of WindowsMediaPlayer do you have. I have done this with the last 3 versions of Windows Media Player, but this only works for Windows Media Player v9

Create a new Standard .EXE.
1) On Form1 add the WindowsMediaPlayer Control.
2) On Form1 add a CommonDialog control
3) On Form1 add a CommandButton control

Paste this code into the code of Form1:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
WindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = CommonDialog1.FileName
End Sub

How do you move and resize the playing AVI screen?
