Hi,

Please find attached a commented leopard patch. Similar approach to the others for Tiger - externalise the timebase -> use a 'toggle' switch to start / stop a stopwatch driving the timebase of the movie.

In Leopard, if you set the movie to 'asyncronous mode' (allowing sound playback) - the movie is de-coupled from the QC time bases, and you have to use the movie position data (in a loop) with a 'sample and hold'. I found if you set the loop duration to a very small number - . 001 - it effectively pauses the movie.

You'll need to change the movie paths to your own local movies.

Cheers, Ian
