That's exactly what I did. I have a brand new project with just a
ViewController with 3 views: 1 to hold the MPMoviePlayerController's
view, 1 button for my first movie, and 1 button for my second movie.
When the buttons are clicked, I create NSURLs from the appropriate
files. I've included my controller. I just set it as the window's
rootViewController in my appDelegate. Any comments you have are
greatly appreciated!
