My current project that I am working on doesn't use the synching so I haven't been too 
concerned about that yet.  The two features I would love to see supported are 
intermovie communication and ApplicationNumberAndString messages.  Right now I am 
sending messages to Revolution from QT using DebugStr and extracting action commands 
from that.  ApplicationNumberAndString would be cleaner as you can pass two parameters 
(a number and a string) to the host app (Revolution) from your QT movie.  Intermovie 
communication would be very useful for me as well as you can could have multiple QT 
movies within a Rev app talking and reacting to each other without any code in Rev.  I 
have some VR stuff that would benefit from that (having interactive maps made with 
Flash or Wired Sprites reacting to movements in the QTVR).
