You can now play a QuickTime™ movie that is in the current scrap file by clicking the play icon in the standard movie control bar if the current resource type is of type “moov”.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Movies aren’t actually stored in the scrap file, but a reference to the movie is, so the actual movie must remain on the disk to use it.
