Movie Control Flags

The mcActionGetFlags and mcActionSetFlags movie controller actions instruct a movie controller to get and set the movie's control flags, which are encoded into a long integer. You can use these constants to read or write the bits in that long integer:

enum {
    mcFlagSuppressMovieFrame                        = 1 << 0,
    mcFlagSuppressStepButtons                       = 1 << 1,
    mcFlagSuppressSpeakerButton                     = 1 << 2,
    mcFlagsUseWindowPalette                         = 1 << 3,
    mcFlagsDontInvalidate                           = 1 << 4,
    mcFlagsUseCustomButton                          = 1 << 5,
    mcFlagQTVRSuppressBackBtn                       = 1 << 16,
    mcFlagQTVRSuppressZoomBtns                      = 1 << 17,
    mcFlagQTVRSuppressHotSpotBtn                    = 1 << 18,
    mcFlagQTVRSuppressTranslateBtn                  = 1 << 19,
    mcFlagQTVRSuppressHelpText                      = 1 << 20,
    mcFlagQTVRSuppressHotSpotNames                  = 1 << 21
};
