Most straightforward: You could use Get URL to open a pop-up window with 

the Quicktime move in it.

Local access from a projector: You could call the Quicktime player to open 

using FS Command, but you'd have to know the path to the player, and I'm 

not sure if there are command line switches that would make QT play a 

designated movie when it opens.
