Re: *** AutoPlay (again) ***

I think this stuff is only for the QT Player native
application, the QuickTime API won't do the autoplaying. So
I suppose you have to read that value yourself from the
movie and then if "isAutoPlayMovie" is true then do setRate
on it. Problem is you HAVE to wait till it finishes loading
(not sure how you can do that) before you call "setRate",
else it won't play if you call this while it still haven't
finished loading :o(

unfortunately same should be for looping atoms, you may have
to check them and setup an ExtremesCallback and when movie
ends go back to start (remember at the callback handler to
enable the callback again, I think it gets "removed" after
it fires)

maybe QT also allows you to set hints to the movie at
runtime (they're not persistent unfortunately) to tell the
movie to autoplay and loop. So then at runtime you'll
basically read the atoms (via the boolean functions I had
sent for example) and set the appropriate movie hints
(instead of setting up callbacks for the looping etc.)

there was an interesting thread I had started on the QTJava
list at the time before posting that code, maybe at the same
time I had asked some of these things on the QT-API list
(check it out as well). There were links in those e-mails to
related Apple technical info on the ADC site
