After further testing it seems fairly clear that in the most recent
versions of FMP (going back to v.4, with one known exception),
FileMaker is unable to insert a QuickTime Movie via AppleScript. To
my non-expert eye, this seems to be a bug in FMP.
Thanks very much to all those who helped me, in particular those of
you who did more extensive testing. I wish I could say there is an
AppleScript solution to this, but I'm afraid I don't think there is.
Thanks anyway.

As some of you know, I've been trying to insert a QuickTime movie
via AppleScript to a FM 5.5 database without success. After
receiving help from a couple of helpful scripters on the list, one
of whom even tested my database, I am still stuck with the problem.
FileMaker complains that the file is the wrong type anytime I try to
insert it with AppleScript; however, when I try manually, FileMaker
takes it beautifully. When Ehsan, from the list, tried on his
system (configured differently than mine), it worked for him using
my database, my script, and my movie!
So the next step is to find someone who would willing to run this
same scenario on their machine. The movie is a very small sample
(28kb uncompressed), the database is only a collection of a few
fields, and the script is about four lines long.
I would appreciate if someone would be kind enough to run this test
on their machine and tell me what happens to them. I'm running OS X
(latest version, Jaguar), and FileMaker Pro 5.5v2, and would like
for the tester to come as close as possible to this configuration.
If you are willing to try it, please let me know off list, and I'll
send you the files directly. I will be very grateful!!
Max
