- You can do this with the Pictoid Package, in fact Pictoids doesn't yet
- support the movie controller at all (they are planned for the next
- major release). Pictoids will display a QT movie in an any-shaped window,
- rectangular if you wish, or butterfly, or camel... you get the idea!
- No title bars, scroll boxes, close boxes etc. It provides full control
- of the movie running from HyperTalk (forward/backward, play rate, frame
- positioning etc.)
-
- You can ftp Pictoids Package 1.1 (or 1.0 + 1.1 Updater) from sumex, umich
- etc. Free for non-commercial use etc. (apart from a PostCard!), full
- license details in package.
-
- Hope this helps, and yes I'm biased I wrote it.

- Cheers
