Clearing QT video when it's done

[Mark Luetzelschwab]

>

Use the playStopped message

inside of the player script

from memory, so check syntax :)

on playStopped
	if the currentTime of me = the duration of me then
	  # hide the movie or whatever
	   set the fileName of me to empty
	   hide me
            set the topLeft of me to the bottomRight of this card
		# there are many other options that should work (any 
of these should do the trick - you shouldn't need all three)

	end if
end playStopped
