Seem in Torque, It is quite easy to have video play as intro screen with Theodora

However, could any one tell me the way to make movie as a texture of an object, for example, the screen of a TV model in game.

I don't have the exact implementation and documentation with me at the moment, but you'll probably end up heavily using DynamicTexture. . .have a search through the forums in the mean time. I won't have access to my codebase until later tonight.

Theora on in-game objects in 1.3

It's for 1.3, but it could be updated to 1.5.

As I understand, this document is about using Theodora object in TGE 1.3. However, now is 1.5 and Theodora is implemented. So are there any way to make it work with scripts

No, the resource that David points to is on how to display a Theora video on 3D objects. This is not implemented in Torque by default, only playing a Theora video as a GUI component is.
