Wow, that's a lot of code for a simple function! I'm sure you were just creating a
flexible script to be used over and over with
different parameters, but in this case it's just easier to do it each time, since it
only takes a minute. I use this all the time
with consistently accurate results.
On frame one of the movie put:
on exitFrame
if quickTimeVersion()<4 then --just change the version number you are checking for
go to the frame +1
else
go to the frame +2
end if
end

Subject: Re: <lingo-l> check for QT
Thismthe code I am using:
global gQTState, gDisableQT, gPathDelimiter
on startMovie
gPathDelimiter = determineDelimiter()
gQTState = #unknown
gDisableQT = FALSE
-- check which version, if any, of QT is installed.
checkForQT(4)
-- act accordingly
case (gQTState) of
#QTPresent:
-- just go about our business
nothing
#wrongversion:
go frame "wrongversion"
#notPresent:
go frame "noQT"
end case
-- set the variables we need to play the movie
initMovie()
end
on checkForQT versionNumber
if voidP(versionNumber) then exit
currentVersion = quickTimeVersion()
if currentVersion <> 0 then
-- check to see if we have the right version
if currentVersion >= versionNumber then
gQTState = #QTPresent
else
gQTState = #wrongVersion
end if
else
-- it isn't present
gQTState = #notPresent
end if
end
on initMovie
-- add variable declarations here
end
on determineDelimiter
thisMachine = the platform
if thisMachine contains "Windows" then
return "\"
else if thisMachine contains "Macintosh" then
return ":"
else
-- wishing for a world with UNIX playback
return "/"
end if
end
