Sounds good --> September. Do you have this widget, Brennan?
What what what what what what?
I think Ian is thinking of someone else, but while I could knock up said widget in LiveStage Pro and polish it for general use, I don't have bags of time right now. In addition, I have serious doubts that it would work as intended for the same reasons it's failing in Applescript: Presenting a movie is something over which you have little control.
OK, I just made a widget which will make any movie present (640 x 480 screen resolution) at NORMAL pixel dimensions. (You just paste it in using add or add scaled) It's also possible to make it go full screen, but you should experiment with this one first.
You can get it here for a limited period. (i.e., I WILL remove it soon).

In a SMIL presentation, it does seem to go into full screen, but whether you can conjure up the right incantations to do what you want, I don't know. My casual experiments indicate that the prospects are poor.
Here's some SMIL to get you going.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE smil SYSTEM "SMIL">
<smil>
<head>
<layout id="MainWindow">
<root-layout background-color="red" width="512" height="342" title="test"/>
<region id="mov" height="120" width="160" left="160" top="120"/>
<region id="widget" height="1" width="1"/>
</layout>
</head>
<body>
<par>
<video region="mov" src="test.mov">
</video>
<video region="mov2" src="fullScreenWidget.mov">
</video>
</par>
</body>
</smil>

Maybe it should. I'll subscribe to it in September.

There's not much Applescript related stuff going down, but it's not unheard of, and yes, it really is the best place to discuss this issue, which, if nothing else, is actually quite a cool feature request.
