Changing Image FileName Based on QT Time...?

[John Patten]

Thanks Klaus!

I'll check out the "currenttime" of player call in the morning. I was not aware of currentTime of player.

Would this be used on an idle script? 

Something like:

If currentTime is > 20000 then
set fileName of image xyz to "slides/slide1.jpg"
else
if currentTime is > 25000 then
set fileName of image xyz to "slides/slide2.jpg"
...

Am i on the right track?

Thanks again!
