Thanks, Santa.

The problem was of course that I shouldn't call a subroutine inside a tell application block.

I've used Quicktime 7 as Quicktime 10 does not automatically play movies.


Quicktime 7 doesn't either on Leopard for me.

Actually I want QuickTime 7 because I am not sure if QuickTime Player X can save (preserving the current time).

So now I do this

on reopen_movie(movieName, filePath)

	set system_version to get_system_version()
	if system_version as number ≥ 1060 then
		set old_qt_Player to "QuickTime Player 7"
	else
		set old_qt_Player to "QuickTime Player"
	end if

	reopen_movie_in_qt_player(old_qt_Player, movieName, filePath)

end reopen_movie

on reopen_movie_in_qt_player(old_qt_Player, movieName, filePath)

	tell application old_qt_Player

		if (exists window movieName) then
			save window movieName
			close window movieName
		end if
		open POSIX file filePath as alias
	end tell
end reopen_movie_in_qt_player


where get_system_version is a routine a found in the archives.

open filePath


So you can use

open filePath instead of open POSIX file filePath as alias ?
