Does anyone know where I can get a good, custimizible .avi control? I'm going to use the .avi's in a game and I want to position the boxes and play lenghts etc.
Any help is appreacted.

Couldn't you use the Windows Media Player control?

Yeah. That's the control I think I'm using now but it opens a seperate window and I can't control that it at all. I can't stop it, or decides where it goes or anything. I was wondering if there was a picturebox or imagebox that would play .avi's?

I do not know why it is opening in a separate window, but what I can say is that the control is very good.
Maybe you could attach the code so I can see what is going on (if you have any code).
The control is extremely customizable so I would definitately advize using it.

I'll give you what I have but it was just a test of mine. Maybe you can help?!?!?!?
I didn't include the movie that the projects plays. It's kind of big. So you can just type in another one.

The reason why it isn't working is because you are not using the Windows Media Player control.
Go to Project -> Components -> and then scroll down and at the very bottom of the list should be a control called Windows Media Player.
