inserting an avi file into the resource file
The code I use to show my AVI is similar to yours, but I included it in
the resource manually. I edited the <project_name>.rc2 in the res
directory and inserted "IDR_AVI_TEST AVI res\test.avi".
Even though the .rc2 file is located in the RES directory, I still
needed to include the relative path to the avi file as "res\test.avi".
Using a CAnimateCtrl.Open(IDR_AVI_TEST) then worked for me.
I don't know that I see how this is that different from the way you
included it in your resource file.
Hope this helps.
