Streaming media (Richard?)

[Devin Asay]

Chipp,

Streaming video is actually quite simple and can be done in any 
application that supports playback of quicktime movies:

You must have QT Pro to do this.

1. Open a streaming video in QT Pro (Open URL from the File menu.)

2. Once the streaming video is open, save it. This creates what's 
called a reference movie. It contains no actual video data, it simply 
points to the streaming video.

3. Now open the reference movie normally in your player object. The 
reference movie will initiate the stream automatically.

Hope this is what you were looking for.

Devin
