Quicktime playback

You want to show only ONE movie at the same time?
And the user will select with a button if he wants to see the german of 
english movie?

Well, in that case put this into the scripts of the "language" 
buttons...
And you will only need ONE player-object!

Btn: german

on mouseup
   stop player xyz
   set the filename of player xyz to empy
   set the filename of player xyz to "path to the movie with german 
sound"
   start player xyz
   ## optional ;-)
end mouseup

Btn: english

on mouseup
   stop player xyz
   set the filename of player xyz to empy
   set the filename of player xyz to "path to the movie with english 
sound"
   start player xyz
   ## optional ;-)
end mouseup


If you have a SINGLE movie with BOTH sound-tracks in it (german and 
english)
you could even switch between these tracks by script in Rev :-)

> Thank you!

Bitteschön :-)
You're welcome :-)
