Question on Default Battle Script.

Is it possible, in using the default battle script to have it so that when a character attacks, it shows sort of like a movie of the character attacking?
 
I'm not quite sure what you mean.  If you want to show an animation of the character attacking, it can be done.  (You don't even need scripts, necessarily.  You can create a battle animation of the character attacking, and have it hide the original battler graphic while the animation plays.)  With script calls, I'm sure you can play some sort of full movie, although I admit that I have no idea how.
 
Well, the images for the movie that I made for the attacks were 640x480 and there are numerous pics for it so unless it is possible not to resize this images to make that battle animation then I would do that.
Anyway, I was thinking of using the AVI script to play the movie the moment that the player chooses to attack an enemy.  So if for example Character A attacks the enemy, the Character A movie plays then when Character B attacks, a different movie plays and so on. Also, the bosses would also have an attack movie play out whenever they attack.
 
BUMP.  If it helps here's another explanation of what I am asking help of...

I was wondering if there were any battle systems that would allow you to play a certain movie when your character attacks.
For example: Character A attacks enemy A, upon choosing to attack the said enemy, a movie will play showing Character A attack. When it is Character B's turn to attack an enemy and after choosing to attack that particular enemy, another movie will play, this time a movie with Character B attacking, and so on and so forth until all of the characters have attacked. The same would go for the bosses. Then, after the movie plays, it would show the battle screen then the damage would be calculated.
I've been wondering if there is an existing battle system that has this feature or if it is possible to edit an existing battle system and add this.
I think it's somehow similar to Monster Rancher Card Battle which plays out the attack or Tsubasa Chronicle (for NDS)'s that also shows a movie of the character attacking.
