Miscellaneous Wired Actions and Operands

A few miscellaneous new actions and operands have been added in QuickTime 6.

In this section:

kQTEventKeyUp Event Type Added
Random Seed

`kQTEventKeyUp` Event Type Added

QuickTime 6 adds the kQTEventKeyUp event type that can be used in wired actions. It corresponds to key-up events on the keyboard. Applications may need to take special actions in order to receive key-up events (which are then passed to a movie controller using MCIsPlayerEvent). For example, Carbon applications that use the classic event model may need to call:

SetEventMask(everyEvent);

since by default the OS does not report key-up events to an application. Similarly, Carbon-event-based applications may need to register a handler for kEventRawKeyUp.

The movie controller also now supports the mcActionKeyUp action.

Random Seed

The following action can be used in conjunction with kOperandRandom.

kActionSetRandomSeed = 6164, /* long randomSeed */

Sets the QuickDraw seed value which is starting point for any subsequent kOperandRandom calls.
