You can do that; you can also set a cuePoint to wait for the end of
the file in the tempo channel. You can also set up any buttons or
whatever to navigate just as you would with anything else. You can
attach a baehvior to the QT file; you can attach multiple behaviors,
in fact. Basically you can do anything you want. ;)

That's right, and at the moment we don't even know if video in Flash6
will play well, or turn to utter crap (particularly if running as a
plugin in Director), so I wouldn't hitch my wagon to that paricular
star right now anyway.
