[V4MD]: Importing video,audio (blob media) into cast members

[Bart Pietercil]

Hi Georgiu,

I don't develop anymore in Director but this is what I used to do for  
problems like this

have a cast with a castmember of each needed type (video,audio)
dump the blob to a (temp) directory on the user drive
set the path of the appropriate castmember to the dumped blob
play
