Bruce--
Apple has a group of free scripts for the QuickTime Player at:
http://www.apple.com/applescript/quicktime
One of them may do what you want:
"Save As Presentation File
This droplet will set the playback properties so that a movie file will
self-present and close or quit when completed. Double-click the droplet
to set the preferences for presentation size, display mode (movie or
slideshow), and the completition action (none, auto close, auto quit). "
You can use that script to change the way your movie plays (in
AppleScript or when double clicked).
If you want to use "enter full screen," you could start with something
like this (watch out for line breaks added by email):
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
-- open movie here if needed
rewind movie 1
enter full screen display 1 --if 1 is the correct monitor
play movie 1
repeat while (the playing of movie 1 is true)
--nothing
end repeat
exit full screen display 1
rewind movie 1
end tell
--Whit

The library for QuickTime Player gives the command for changing into
full screen as:
enter full screen: Enter full screen video mode
enter full screen reference -- display
exit full screen: Exit full screen video mode
exit full screen reference -- display
But when I try it out, it doesn`t seem to work. I wish they would give
beginners like me a little more detailed example. What exactly should I
be inputting in place of reference? I`ve played with this for far too
long. I`m sure it`s easier than what I`m making it out to be.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
