I have been playing wmv files with windows media player loaded in a sprite
icon. Now they want me to load random video files but I have found that the
videos don't play unless you have a literal path in the FileName Property. Is
there a way to load random names/paths into the sprite?

How about SetSpriteProperty??

I tried SetSpriteProperty and the video wouldn't play. After I posted here I
tried it again but executed the SetSpriteProperty command after the sprite in
the time line. It appears that the sprite has to be loaded before the SetSprite
command can be used. I had just assumed that I would need to set the sprite
values before attempting to play it. I guess that's what I get for assuming!

Yes, it makes sense that we should set the FileName before the item on the
flowline. In the ActiveX world, however, the object hasn't been created
until it's reached on the flowline, so there _is_ no FileName :-)
