Using a start-up movie in a standalone

Thinksamuel's icon

Is it possible to launch a standalone (or a patch) with a start-upmovie. I know a startupscreen is possible but I would like to have an animation (made in quicktime) as my start-upmovie. When the movie finishes, it should close and the program window should appear.
How do I do that?
