Assigning a button to play the Movie clip in PowerPoint

[Raja]

Can someone please help me!!

I want to assign an action button that will play the movie in the same slide
when pressed.

I do understand that when we insert a movie or sound PowerPoint asks if you
want to play it automatically or when on Click. I want it to play only when
I click on the button.

I know that I can assign the action setting of teh action button called
hyperlinking to open a file. But by doing this it is opening the movie file
in Windows media. I want to remain in Powerpoint !!

I hope it makes sense and someone can get back to me ASAP.

DO I Need a Macro or VBA understanding to do this???

Kindest Regards
