- Plug-In Helper ReadMe
-
- Plug-In Helper is an application which allows you to
- do the following:
-
- - Associate URLs with QuickTime movies and video tracks.
- - Store QuickTime Plugin settings inside a QuickTime movie.
-
- How do I use Plug-In Helper?
-
- Using Plug-In Helper is easy -- just follow these steps:
-
- Step 1) Open a movie. This can be done by dropping a movie
- on the application icon; using the Open menu item in the
- file menu; or by dragging a movie into the already open
- Plug-In Helper window.
- Step 2) Specify Plugin settings, if desired.
- Step 3) Specify a URL for the movie, if desired. This
- can be done by typing the URL directly into the movie URL
- text box, or by dragging text from another application.
- The best way to specify a URL is to drag a 'live' one
- from a web browser. This ensures that the URL is properly
- formed and will work in the QuickTime Plugin.
- Step 4) Specify a URL for each track in the movie, if
- desired, using the same techniques listed in step 3, above.
-
- NOTE: If a URL is associated with the movie, it will override
- any URLs associated with video tracks.

- Q&A:
-
- Q: I only see video tracks in the track list, I'm not going to
- lose anything when I export, am I?
- A: At this time, this application only supports associating URLs
- with video tracks, so that is the only track type displayed in
- the track list. Any tracks the application does not understand
- will be exported intact and untouched.
-
- Q: Can I associate a URL with any track type other than video?
- A: No, see answer to previous question.
-
- Q: Why can't I use the space bar to start and stop the movie?
- A: There is always an active text box in the window, so all
- keystrokes are assumed to be intended for editing text.
-
- Q: Why can't I use the arrows keys to navigate through the movie?
- A: See answer to previous question.
-
- Q: I've heard that URLs can be associated with sprites in a sprite
- track, is this true?
- A: Yes, that is true, but this utility does not support that feature.
-
- Q: I've heard that URLs can be associated with objects in QuickDraw
- 3D models, is this true?
- A: Yes, that is true, but this utility does not support that feature.
