hey all, quick question; hopefully a quicktime guru can help me out....

I've a lesson produced dynamically from a database that consists of text, 
a possible quicktime movie or jpeg, and some audio. All I want to do is a 
sequence of events that, dependent on some variables, would play in 
sequence (not synched), 

1) quicktime movie then audio
2) audio then quicktime movie.

It's not a big deal, and there are a number of variables to go against to 
figure out what plays when. I've got this all figured out.

The problem is the way the sequence is figured out, is 
-which order
if qt is first, link external qt movie
if sound is first link external soundfile
start sequence.

The problem arises when the audio starts the sequence; the audio is 
linked, the quicktime movie is linked then the sequence starts....but 
although the movie is 'linked' there's a bit of a lag/drop while the 
movie is loaded in (and this is only a 1 meg movie)...then the audio 
stutters.

I've looked at all the options I can think of...mediaReady is true as 
it's next to the app, loaded is true, preload is true...the only thing I 
might do is before running the sequence waiting til the qt movie plays 5 
ticks or something, pause the sequence, then play the sequence....

anyone understand what I'm saying here?
