Re: FLASH: Flash w/ QTVR -- bugs? (hey Michael)

[Michael@BTW]

I've mostly been using it to control linear movies, myself. The new QT

(4.1x) plugs are causing some problems over on the QT list

(

quicktime-talkpublic [dot] lists [dot] apple [dot] com

). The flash track (alpha) problems

I've been having haven't been fixed by the new QT plugs, no. However all

seems to work if you open the QT in the player just fine (and generally more

stable than using the embed tag).


I do that with a Flash button, get url, target quicktimeplayer, export as

Quicktime.


Other folks involved with trying to track down the QTVR bugs are reporting

various features broken and serious out of memory problems. Apple appears to

be chasing SMiL buzzword compliance at the expense of the potentially much

more powerful Flash track and the long time cool features of interactive

QTVR, a sad note for both Apple and Macromedia, IMHO.


What was that I heard about ASF supporting a Flash track?;-)...
