QTVRMouseUp

You can use the QTVRMouseUp function to handle the user's releasing the mouse button while the cursor is in a QuickTime VR movie for which mouse-down tracking is disabled.

qtvr
An instance of a QuickTime VR movie.
pt
The current location of the cursor, in the local coordinates of the graphics world specified by the w parameter.

DESCRIPTION

The QTVRMouseUp function returns, in the long integer pointed to by the hotSpotID parameter, the ID of the hot spot in the QuickTime VR movie specified by the qtvr parameter that lies directly under the point specified by the pt parameter. If no hot spot lies under that point, the long integer is set to 0. QTVRMouseUp also performs any other tasks that are typically performed when the user releases the mouse button after clicking it when the cursor is in a QuickTime VR movie.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

You need to call QTVRMouseUp only if you have disabled mouse-down tracking for the specified QuickTime VR movie.
