Well, if you want to build this yourself, reading the specs can be useful,
especially if you want all parameters. Embedding the stuff in macros take a
few more minutes, since you have to do some housekeeping as well as reserve
space. 

In context: 

\useexternalfigure
  [everlasting]
  [some.mov]
  [width=4cm,height=3cm,label=whow,repeat=yes,preview=yes]}

\placefigure
  {An everlasting movie.}
  {\externalfigure[everlasting]}

etc etc etc \goto {Show Me} [StartMovie{whow}] etc etc 

This feature is pretty old btw. Sound is more recent and only available in
the latest versions: 

\useexternalsoundtrack[noise][veryloud.wav]

etc etc etc \goto {Hear Me} [StartSound{noise}] etc etc. 

There are some more bells and whistles and settingsand ... Also, you can
use buttons, menus and whatever you like. 

There is an example in 1999-003.pdf at our site.
