With cunning use of a frameset and inter-movie communication, you could

hidden movie as a client-side conduit for all manner of data into the main
movie. 

I understood that Thomas' idea was to be able to pass parameters to a
movie playing on the QT Player from another movie in the web browser.

I know you can go through a server back from the web browser movie
then up to the QT Player movie via QTLists, but Thomas' idea is more
flexible, I think.

Yes, it's true that this type of communication could be done with QTLists and some clever web programming, but it's impossible to do without server programming, if you want to pass data from the page into QT Player. And it's tedious too, because you have to keep track of the state when going from the page to the server, then to the player.

While passing parameters in the URL is so dead simple and politically correct :-) which is why it surprises me that it doesn't work right now. I really wish it would in the future, it would make life a lot simpler.
