Hi Mike,

Drag a player object from the tools palette (you can read about this in the user manual, which is included with LiveCode as a PDF and can be accessed from the Help menu). Use the properties palette to set the filename property of the player. Use the start player command to start the player (You can read more about "player", "start player" and "stop player" in the LiveCode dictionary).

Kind regards,

Mark
