Odd that we had a 4-day delay since you sent this reply, but...
834 tics is less than 14 seconds (840 tics) and more than 13 seconds (780
tics). It works out to "00:00:13.54" seconds.
1 minute in movieTime is 3600 tics. (60 tics per second * 60 seconds) So,
if the user types in "00:01:00" you can use the HMStoFrames function to set
the movieTime of the sprite to 3600. If you want the QT to go to 00:00:13
seconds you would convert that to tics and set the movieTime to the result.
userTime = member("input").text
qtTime = HMStoFrames(userTime,60,0,0)
sprite(1).movieTime = qtTime
or
sprite(1).movieTime = HMStoFrames(member("input").text,60,0,0)
If you want to convert movieTime into HMS, use framesToHMS. This is a
convenient way to display the QT's current time in a field or text member.
More details about digital video and the HMStoFrames/framesToHMS functions
are available in the docs.
