Set the alwaysbuffer property of the movie player to true. Note that alwaysBuffer will also cause the controller to stop responding. QT is an event-loop hog, and the only way to double-buffer it when rendering the card takes too mmuch horsepower out if its event mechanism). If you need QT's movie controller (or at least a more limited version of it) you may be better off writing a .smil document and setting the path of the controller to that. SMIL documents are simple XML files in which you can mix references to graphics, text, movies, and most other QT-supported media in specific regions of the player, and even show and hide them at specific time codes (although sadly QT supports only SMIL 1.0, and does not have the transition effects of the SMIL 2.0 spec). For more on using SMIL in QT see: QuickTime and SMIL <http://www.apple.com/quicktime/authoring/qtsmil.html> QuickTime Pro: About SMIL <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42651> QuickTime Pro: SMIL Extensions <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42652> W3C SMIL home page: <http://www.w3c.org/AudioVideo/> PS: I started developing a SMIL editor in MC but my market research suggested that for a number of reasons it would not make a viable product, so I finished WebMerge first. The product was to be called "SMILer Grogan" -- the first person who sends me an email with the name of the movie that character name is from will get a free WebMerge license. No Google or IMDB -- that's cheating. :) -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge 2.1: Publish any database on any site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
