Video through a dialog

[Horner 13]

So I have about a year or so of ArmA scripting experience. (not a whole lot compared to those with going on 10) But I want to know how people get to show videos through a dialog. I understand how a dialog works and how to set one up and all but how do you get it to display a video? I've seen it done before. Thanks in advance. :)

P.S. Sorry if this is a repost. Kind of hard to search for this seeing as all I get are youtube links to ArmA 2 videos. lol

i have no practical experience with but I believe no you dont. you only reference the video directly. at least if it resides in an addon.

if its a mission, the situation may be different
