How to pop-up a window and play video in "Mission Selection GUI"

Hi everyone,
Currently I'm working on a FPS game, and I created some missions already, for each mission I recorded a small video so the player can have a general view about that one.
So all I wanna do now is to implement a button next to the mission title (in the mission selection GUI) so that when a player clicks on that button, maybe a window will pop-up and show a small video about that mission ...
So may I ask is there anyway to make this function in TGEA? Thank you

Unfortunately, due to changes in the SFX system, all video playback functionality inherited from TGE has been deactivated. There's been some threads about this around here.

..see Mquaker's post half way down the page, seems to support .avi files on TGEA 1.8.0
