I tried compiling my program. It goes through alright. Now I'm having issues finding where it puts the file.
As for movies, when I run my program and try to start the movie, it doesn't start. What am I doing wrong?

When HN builds an app(executable) or stack, it places the built app/stack in the project's folder.
For instance if your project is called My Movie Player, then the built app/stack should be in the My Movie Player folder.
Note, when releasing your app or stack, the original project file is not required but remember to make a copy of it somewhere.
Only the app/stack plus any dependencies such as datafiles, images, vidoe setc are required.

There is a bug in a movie player's control panel that prevents some movies such as MP4 from playing.
See number 5 in this post:-
http://www.tigabyte.com/smf/index.php?topic=326.0 (http://www.tigabyte.com/smf/index.php?topic=326.0)
However, it is possible to control a movie, play or pause it by using the relevant movie command.
In the scripts below, the movie player control on the card has ID 1.
The movie to be played was dragged and dropped intoto the project's movie library via the Movie Library menu option under the menu Windows.
Use one button to play the movie with the command MoviePlayNormalSpeed:-
MoviePlayNormalSpeed(1)
Use another button to pause the movie with the command MoviePause:-
MoviePause(1)
As a movie player's controller is bugged, it can be hidden using the command MovieSetController.
Its usual to place this or similar commands in the card's open event:-
MovieSetController(1,0)
Attached below is a simple movie player that has a small movie in the project folder.

Thank you! I still can't find my project folder, but the movie issue is resolved. Another has appeared, though. When I put in a 'go back' button on my movie's card and click it, it takes me back to the desired card, but the movie doesn't go away. How do I fix this? I've tried MovieSetView, MovieViewFN, and such to no avail.

About your project folder. If you forgot to create a new project then the default project folder will be used.
The path is something like: C:\Users\Malkom\Documents\My HyperNext 4\Default_CR
The path will be roughly similar for OS X.
Note,
If you want to turn your project in the default folder into a new project, for instance MoviePlayer then:
- Copy the folder - Default_CR to another location.
- Rename the Default_CR folder to MoviePlayer.
- Inside the new project folder, rename Default_CR.prj to MoviePlayer.prj.

This is actually a bug when the movie player doesn't hide on a card without its own movie player.
A workaround is to add the the follwing in your target card's open event:
MovieSetHeight(1,0)
MovieSetView(1,0)
If you want it in the button, then disable the Button Goto, and place this in the button's script:
MovieSetHeight(1,0)
MovieSetView(1,0)
