How to put Videos in the event messages (RTW:BI)

[Kagemusha]

Here is how i put the Assasination video to the assasination message:
Here is the original message in SHOGUN/data/descr_event_images.txt.To avoid any misunderstandings the SHOGUN is the mod folder we are using for the Ran no Jidai mod:

mission_assassinate
    icon    agent
    format
    {
        title        center verdana        black
        string         center verdana_med    black        
        title_image     center                    
        spacer         8
        bodystring  left verdana_sml khaki left
    } 

I replaced the original assasination message code with a an wonder movie code that we know uses movie file:

mission_assassinate
        icon    historic
    heading_items    2
    format
    {
        title        center verdana        black    
        movie          center 320 240
        spacer         8
        string         center verdana_med    black                        
        bodystring   left verdana_sml khaki left
        spacer         8
        multistring  center   verdana_sml khaki left
        spacer         8
        multistring  center   verdana_sml khaki left
    } 

I just renamed a STW movie into RTW movie and copied into in my SHOGUN/data/fmv mod folder becouse Bi can use all the movies both in Bi and RTW.

Then added the the path of the movie into the code:

mission_assassinate
        icon    historic
    heading_items    2
    format
    {
        title        center verdana        black    
        movie          center 320 240 SHOGUN/data/fmv/lose/julii_eliminated.wmv
        spacer         8
        string         center verdana_med    black                        
        bodystring   left verdana_sml khaki left
        spacer         8
        multistring  center   verdana_sml khaki left
        spacer         8
        multistring  center   verdana_sml khaki left
    } 

And Voila the movie works in the assasination message.Ofcourse this is just the main principle.I didnt yet change the icon to the message or anything like that.

I tried that with a new movie but once I opened the message the game minimizes and uses another thing to open it (it still does not display the movie)
