Yes, I think so. Most stacks we make should be possible to distribute. But 
it's difficult when we don't know the path to the films "at playtime" when 
we make the stacks. Now, the stack must ask the user to locate the films 
before playing.

Two problems:
1. We have thought about putting "moov" recources into HC stacks, but we 
   don't know how to pass the path to the QT Movie XCMD.

2. We can't include "moov" resources in SuperCard, or...

I have got several mail from people interested in finding a solution to 
this, so I hope we can find one.

Jostein :-)
