Playing external movie

Is there any kind of function that can launch external cinematic (divx movies) like in campaigns? I tried to call function from blizzard.j file, but it fails, nothing happened.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sadly, it requires some set-up from the user's end (to put the file into the movies folder), and it can only fire after the mission has ended, but it works. You would need the file as an AVI.

Thank you for the link, however there is slight issue on that.

You mentioned, that in triggers I have to put action

Code:
game - Enable / Disable cinematic

I have list of all Blizzard movies made for the game, do I have to pick one? Or
it doesn't matter wich one i choose?

//Edit: Got it! IT works :] However I used script
Code:
custom script: call PlayCinematic("movie_name")
but nothing happened (earlier i added Game - Victory me)

I don't know what was wrong. Thank you for your help and precious time ;]

Try replacing "movie_name" with something like "IntroX"
