It seems that ActionScript code in elvis.swf sets the movie
state to STOP (this is to wait for movie load, will be set
to PLAY again when a given condition holds true: bytes loaded=bytes
total).

The problem is that with your patch the code checking for the condition
will never be executed as the Gui class never calls advance_root
which is where both frame step and action execution happens.

The effect is that elvis.swf starts PAUSED, and you need to hit
^P to start it again. This can theoretically happen anytime a movie
script explicitly calls root.stop();

So, the Gui should *NOT* rely on the sprite play state to omit calls
to advance_root. I suggest we use a Gui data member keeping Gui
running state.
