Re: Feature request:Wired sprite access to full movie URL



I've been following your discussion with a lot of interest.
I too would really like to see the feature Thomas is talking about being implemented in QT (passing variables via url), but following Brennan's logic I've been wondering if the following scenario would work:


An embedded movie (a button) with dynamically created (embed-)qtlist launches a customized player, which then fetches info from the embedded movie's qtlist, and uses that info to perform a search on a server-side database.

Made sense? The idea is that the embedded "button" contains a qtlist with a session-id (or the like), and that that session-id then is communicated to the player somehow, and in the end used to generate a playlist in the customized (skinned) player. All this hazzle to avoid naughty people from gaining access to the music/films in the playlist....

Yet again I'm getting confused by my own writing here, but if anyone thought it made sense: is it doable, you think? I'm going to test the approach, but would like to know if it's even worthwhile trying.

I don't think I'm understanding.  Are you saying that you can pass
data from the web browser to the QuickTime Player, all on the client?

Yes.

Or is it passing information between two plug in instances on the
same browser?  If it's the second one, I think Thomas is rather for
the first option.  Now, if you can pass data from the browser to the
QT Player, I did not understand how.

Check the source of the upper frame, (or just download the archive and play with it offline).

parent.window["lower"].document.open();
parent.window["lower"].document.write(info);
parent.window["lower"].document.close();

In this case "lower" is the bottom frame of my frameset. 'info' is a HTML
document constructed on the fly from the preceeding commands (omitted
here) to include an object/embed tag with QTList XML that are modfied by a
HTML form. As you can see, these QTLists are visible to the movie.
