Controlling QuickTime tracks
I've developed a CBT that uses a number of QuickTime movies that contain a Flash track for animation and a sound track for voice-over. I'm now being asked to add a text track for captions for those users who don't have sound or don't want to use sound (in a shared office for example). QuickTime supports the addition of a text track, so I could have a single movie file containing all three tracks (video - Flash, sound - voice-over, text - captions). Is there any way I can enable/disable QuickTime tracks in a movie under control of my MetaCard stack? QuickTime Player supports this, so it's clearly a feature within QuickTime movies, it's just than I can't see how to get at this control from within MetaCard.

Check out the beta of 2.3.2, currently on the MetaCard ftp site ftp://ftp.metacard.com/MetaCard/2.3.2/ The read me lists loads of new QT properties, including the ability to control QTVR, and yes, to turn on and off specific tracks in a movie.
