CLASS DESCRIPTION
This class displays a movie within a pushable button. When the
movie is single- or double-clicked, the movie plays (complete with
an audio track, if available) and any callback associated with the
button is invoked. This class is most effective with a short movie
that acts as an animation. A series of VkMovieButton objects could
be used to act as a multimedia "launchpad", whereby the latency
period for running an associated application is spent viewing the
particular movie the user clicked on.
The size of the button is determined by the size of the specified
movie. The ideal size of a movie is approximately 64 pixels wide by
64 pixels high. A movie can be resized or scaled using makemovie(1).
