A significant amount of scripting terminology got changed (and some even
got trashed) when QuickTime Player was ported to Cocoa for QT7.
Code using the older terminology will turn into raw event codes, and in
most cases will fail outright.
Unfortunately I can't tell what terminology these raw event codes mapped
onto in the old dictionary.
If you can open your script on a Mac with QT6 and let us know the
terminology used in this line, there is probably a workaround.
If you don't have another Mac handy, there is still a solution:
If you thought ahead, and backed up a copy of the QT6 player (everyone
did this before the upgrade to QT7, right?) then you can just change
itst name and compile the script again pointing at the older player
application to get the right terminology.
i.e. if you change the old player's name to "QT6 Player" you can do
tell app "QT6 Player"
<<event MVWRenfs>> <<class devi>> 1
end tell
.. and this will give you the terminology that has changed. Then get
back to us here and we can hopefully find an equivalent in the new
player's terminology.
(Be sure to use proper chevron characters).
There's a chance that this raw event has not made it, but even if that's
true, there's a chance that it's not so important.
Good luck!
Brennan
