ALso on a side note related in GUI objects, how can i make it so that the GUI control will always by the width and height of the application itself? and for the ogg video, I would also need to resize the video depneds on the resolution of the game, like if they wanted to resize game resolution but I would like to only use i ogg file, is that possible?

I don't think it's directly possible to play a ogg file inside a edit directly. There are two ways of doing it, what I can think of:
* Create the ability to play ogg files directly in the engine.
* Create a transparent edit and place it on top of a theora control.
Hope this helps.

If you want to have a control abide to the relative size of the screen you can set the HorizSizing and VertSizing to relative. Or what are you looking for?I don't think it's directly possible to play a ogg file inside a edit directly. There are two ways of doing it, what I can think of:

To create the Theora Control Gui, press F10, click New Control and scroll down to GuiTheoraCtrl. Click this to create your Theora Control. It will be black when you create it. Options appear in the bottom right of the screen, one of these is Theora Filename. Click into this and select what theora file you want to play. Then as Martin says, you can resize the Theora Ctrl to whatever size suits you.

Ryan, if you want the Theora ogg file to repeat, you'll need to implement this resource http://www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=36700To create the Theora Control Gui, press F10, click New Control and scroll down to GuiTheoraCtrl.
