RE: QTJava and Flash interactivity

Thanks for the message. I think my problem is not
know much about Quicktime (I'm a java programmer).
For my current project, I need to get QT for java and
Flash to interact (i.e. click on a button in flash and
have the java program do something).

I'm about ready to look at flash and see if I can come
to understand both 'worlds.' Thanks for the message.
I need to look up those constants to see what they
are.

Looks like my work is cut out for me ;)

Peace,

Dave.
