playShortFile: fileName (String)

The playShortFile: action is useful for playing short digital video files. The action opens a player, plays the file described by the fileName parameter, and then closes the player. The action does not return until the entire file is played. Thus, for long files, it may appear that the machine is hung.

For example, connect the ok event of a file selection prompter to the playShortFile: action of a player.
