highlighted text and quicktime sound files

i have a question about the extent to which revolution can communicate 
with quicktime on both mac and windows.

i have a text field and a prerecorded quicktime sound file of the text 
in the text field.  i would like to have the text highlighted sentence 
by sentence as the sound file is being played.  the pedestrian way 
would be to divide the sound file in many smaller files, one for each 
sentence,  but i wonder if there is another way, in which revolution 
could tell the quicktime player which portion of the sound file to play 
as individual sentences get highlighted.

what would be the most efficient way to both divide (or mark) the 
quicktime sound files and make revolution interact with those portions?

all best,
T.
