This approach allows you to get the messages, but doesn't solve the core
problem: When I querry the player's startTime and endTime after having
changed the selection with shift-arrowKey, the startTime and endtime have
not changed.
For some reason, MetaCard's internal understanding of the movie's startTime
and endTime are different from the QT Controller's display. So any amount
of monkeying with events will only solve the easy part, but not let me
accurately retrieve the info I need. :(
