Just answering this question, of several interesting ones that you have asked. You can issue a 'playnote' command in QuickTime but you need to use wired actions to do it. Beyond the QuickTime API itself (C++, cocoa, java), you can get at those actions with two tools, LiveStage and GoLive. You can see some (very basic) examples at <http://www.smallhands.com/> In particular <http://www.smallhands.com/movs/voices_4.mov> (4k) There's not a way to send wired messages from Director to QuickTime, unfortunately.
