Programming With QuickTime Sprites

Wired Sprites

QuickTime 3 introduces wired sprites, which are designed to extend the interactive capabilities of QuickTime, enabling application developers to create movies that respond to user interaction. These interactive movies can be played in any Web browser using the QuickTime plug-in, or anywhere you can play QuickTime movies. When you wire a sprite track, you add actions to it. These actions are not only provided by sprite tracks. In principle, you can "wire" any QuickTime media handler. For more information, see Chapter 3, "Wired Sprites."
