Putting cuepoints into a QT requires QT editing software. If you don't have
any QT editing software (QTPro is only around $30), you can do it without
cuepoints by checking the movieTime of sprite.
At its most basic, here is an example of a frame script that will wait
until the QT (in sprite 1) movieTime has passed 300.
on exitFrame
if the movieTime of sprite(1) < 300 then
go the frame
end if
end
More details in the Lingo Dictionary.
If you have the DirectMedia Xtra (Windows only Xtra), you can add cuepoints
to a cast member without actually editing the video. I don't recall whether
DirectMedia supports QT, but I wouldn't be surprised if it does.

I believe most folks would say QT is better, though QT Sorensen and AVI
Indeo 5 are quite similar. Easier? Well, you do need to ensure that the
user has QT installed on the machine since it's not included with Windows.
Video for Windows has been included since Win95 & _usually_ no installation
is required. Win95B and higher include the Indeo 5 codec. I'm not sure
which NT service pack began including the newer Indeo codec.
