QuickTime Events

When it is associated with a QuickTime movie, the movie controller checks to see if a track in the movie provides actions in response to QuickTime events. If one or more tracks provide actions, the movie controller will then monitor the activity of the mouse and send the appropriate mouse-related events.

These mouse events include: kQTEventMouseClick , kQTEventMouseClickEnd , kQTEventMouseClickEndTriggerButton , kQTEventMouseEnter , and kQTEventMouseExit .

Other types of events do not require user interaction in order to be generated.

The kQTEventIdle event is sent to each sprite in a sprite track if that sprite track's kSpriteTrackPropertyQTIdleEventsFrequency property is set to a value other than the default value kNoQTIdleEvents .

The kQTEventFrameLoaded event is generated when a sprite track sample which contains actions for it is loaded.
