I am testing the trial version of A7 but I am delaying the purchase until I'm sure that the media_play code will work on my HP dual-core laptop running vista.
Presently, the code only displays still image files.

Movie files (avi, mpgs) just lock the code. It completes the compiler and runs normal until media_play tries to execute. Unfortunately, I'll need to see that this function works properly before I make the purchse.
