- SuperCard does not support the sort of "Windoid" that is used by the Quicktime
- XCMDs for playback..
-
- You can however, use the "Direct" mode of the XCMD.. You must, however,
- specifically "idle" the QTMovie command for the movie to play..
-
- I find this works fine if you have an appropriate "on idle" in the card
- script.. I also put an "on closecard" to unload the movie in there also..
