My current view is as someone wanting to implement my book making
guidelines. I would prefer they only have to install a current Squeak
and find "MoviePlayer" on the Multimedia tab on the Objects flap,
along side ScorePlayer and MP3Player. Drag one out and drop it on a
bookmorph page. Bring up a halo and from the red button menu select
"choose file to play" and select from the list. After that, either the
movie plays when the play button is pressed, or it can be set to play
when the page opens. Or when some action triggers it.

If that capability exists in another project and the licensing permits
it, I guess I could create an Open Slate image that includes it,
perhaps with a few tweaks. So I am interested in that solution, too.
