SetMovieMasterClock

You can use the SetMovieMasterClock function to assign a clock component to a movie. Do not use the SetTimeBaseMasterClock function to assign a clock component to a movie.

pascal void SetMovieMasterClock (Movie theMovie, 
                                 Component clockMeister, 
                                 const TimeRecord *slaveZero);

theMovie

Specifies the movie for this operation. Your application obtains this movie identifier from such functions as NewMovie, NewMovieFromFile, and NewMovieFromHandle (described on page 2-80, page 2-76, and page 2-78, respectively).

clockMeister

Specifies the clock component to be assigned to this movie. Your application can obtain this component identifier from the Component Manager's FindNextComponent routine (see the chapter "Component Manager" in Inside Macintosh: More Macintosh Toolbox for more information about this routine).

slaveZero

Contains a pointer to the time, in the clock's time scale, that corresponds to a 0 time value for the movie. This parameter allows you to set an offset between the clock component and the time base of the movie. Set this parameter to nil if there is no offset.
