I don't get Quicktime to run under LC 6.7.6

[panagiotis merakos]

Hi Tiemo,

I saw that your reply was on my first comment, which I just confirmed that
does not work. But the solutions suggested in my next comment should work.
In case you missed it, here it is:

In LC 6.7.8 RC1 (released yesterday) you can set the dontuseqt for the
player object. So this *will* work:

on preopenstack
   put the filename of player "myPlayer" into tOldFilename
   set the filename of player "myPlayer" to empty
   set the dontuseQT of player "myPlayer" to false
   set the filename of player "myPlayer" to tOldFilename
   [...]
end preopenstack

Another solution that will work in LC versions before  6.7.8 RC1, is to
delete and recreate the player on preopenstack. This will force the player
to use QT from the very first time your stack is loaded:

on preopenstack
set the dontuseQT to false
put the rect of player "myPlayer" into tRect
   put the filename of player "myPlayer" into tOldFilename
delete player "myPlayer"
create player "myPlayer"
set the showcontroller of player "myPlayer" to true // This is needed
because the newly created player has no controller
set the filename of player "myPlayer" to tOldFilename
set the rect of player "myPlayer"  to tRect
end preopenstack

Best,
Panos
