Letting users control embedded video files?

Is there anyway to do this? I can pause and start them while editting, but when I test it in Media or Player, I can't control the video....

TIA

Do you want to roll your own controllers? If so it is possible. You might want to look up playrate, start and stop in the dictionary. If you want to use the Controller provided by Quicktime, does it not show up in the player? (I haven't used the player yet, as I distribute standalones mostly)

All the best,

Malte

The Quicktime controller doesn't work, so I guess I'll just go with the start stop.

Thanks for the fast response

You're welcome. I'll download the player a little later to see if I can reproduce the problem. If it is a bug we should report it.

All the best,

Found out the solution....

I was importing referenced control files. Didn't work. When I drug over the quicktime player from the easy access toolbar (can't remember the right name), the control bar worked.
