RE: FLASH: Flash making QuickTime--why so little support and development?

[Branden Hall]

Well, as best as I can discern... MM orginally wanted scripting for QT in

F4, but time didn't permit it... in fact there is a way someone found a

while back to open up a depreciated window for entering that kind of

scripting... (I know it involved hitting E and some other key at the right

time) I don't know what is happening in the future though..

The first time I saw the Flash layer in QuickTime I thought it was pretty

cool... but that was a long time ago and to date, I've seen no significant

documentation, support, or advancement for this feature.  For example, you

can only output Flash 3 files into QuickTime!


In my opinion, other tools will be used instead of Flash because there's no

action from Macromedia.  On the one hand, if we all were using it more maybe

MM would develop more support--on the other hand, we can't use it until

there are more features.


I remember at UCON99 some folks from the QuickTime team saying that Flash

will (someday) be given access to some of the controls within a QuickTime 4

file (via action scripting).  Well, I've either missed it or something

because I've seen nothing.


Sorry to complain, but to turn this into a positive email let me ask this:

Has anyone been doing cool stuff with Flash on QuickTime?

Does anyone have stories to share about the use of LiveStage from

http://www.totallyhip.com ?


Other tools... like "Electrifier"?


Please show and tell.


Phillip
