Michelle,

Here's another way, though it requires converting the file to an .avi.
You could use the ACM_OPEN, ACM_PLAY and ACM_STOP messages in a 
sendMessage() call to play a windows .avi file.  Like I said, this requires
you to convert to an .avi but I'm pretty sure you could find a tool on 
the net to do the conversion for you.

FWIW...
