if m#>=100 and switch2=0
load animation "video\open door 1.wmv",1
if ANIMATION EXIST(1)
Play animation 1,350,200
while animation playing(1)
sync
endwhile
if animation playing (1)=10

endif
endif
endif

Maybe this could be it?

Your checking a value of 10, which should actually be 1 (if the animation is playing 1 is returned, else 0).
And, normally an animation stops automatically.

You shouldn't sync either IMO.

This works fine for me:

Load animation "MEDIA\YOUR_FILENAME_HERE.avi", 1
PLAY ANIMATION 1
while ANIMATION PLAYING(1) 
if HAS FOCUS()=0 then GRAB FOCUS
endwhile
cls 
DELETE ANIMATION 1

Cheers

Slayer rules!!! Yeaaah, man!
