You are missing my point:
I am looking for widget, action, behaviour whatever that works with either
Dreamweaver 801 or Go Live CS. Surely in this day and age of slick computer
programs, there would be something like this available for QuickTime. I
have tried to Apple solution but I don't understand it..I am not a coder. I
do know that just one slip up and the darn thing throws an error. That is
why I would prefer to work with an automated button. Is there such a thing
that works for Flash and QuickTime? I notice that there is one in
Dreamweaver for Flash...why not QuickTime. How come Adobe never updated the
Quicktime one in Go Live? Is it because they've decided that QuickTime is
not worth the trouble? If so, why doesn't Apple put together something.
As you have agreed, the whole thing is a pain. I am just looking for a
painless and quick solution so I can get on with MORE important things :)
