I add movie file and I want it to play in background whle I place pic or text
box in front of it. Everytime I do that the movie fille goes back on top of
other when I play it. Can play move file behind other objects in PPT?
 
A movie file is what can be termed "active content" - it is normal for
active content to come in the front of everything else while playing on a
PowerPoint slide.

Can I do anything to bring the pics in front of the movie and use the movie
file active in the background?
 
The only way you can do that is by using a third-party product - and even
that would be only possible if you are happy to use the movie as a
background in the entire slide area.

The product you can use for such moving (movie) backgrounds is Office FX
(www.instanteffects.com) - do note that you'll need a high powered video
card for this product to really work well.
