If you install JMF (Java Media Framework API), you can embed MPEG-1 format video into Purple Shoes window.

Now is available MPEG-1 format only. But study more and find a solution to play other various popular formats, e.g. MP4, AVI, WMV and QuickTime.

Try out the latest Purple Shoes! :-D

After replied to Jared's post.

I came up with an idea for Red Shoes.
There is no need to use pesky pop-up windows (i.e. alert and ask methods)!

Watch a tiny demo.

Oh, umm,...
I think it's a bit difficult with Red Shoes...
But with Green or Purple?

After some trials, got a solution for Purple Shoes.
I've not changed his original code, just only added a small snippet.

Look at the code ( https://gist.github.com/2516799 ) and watch a tiny flush demo. ;-)

I placed this in my ~/bin folder so that I could run it whenever I need a quick refresher on the available assertions.  It will automatically include changes as minitest gets updated over time and versions.
