README - WatchMe

WatchMe is a custom application intended to support the WatchMe.mov movie on the

QuickTime 3 SDK (Software Development Kit). Its sole reason for existing is to

convert relative URLs (contained in wired sprite actions) to absolute URLs (for

consumption by the movie controller).  Currently the movie controller cannot handle

relative URLs.

WatchMe is just like most other QuickTime movie players, except that it intercepts

movie controller actions of type mcActionLinkToURL. (In the WatchMe.mov movie, these

actions are generated by wired sprite actions). It inspects the URL passed with the action

and, if it's a relative URL, converts it into an absolute URL before passing it on to the

movie controller.

Most of the code unique to WatchMe is contained in the file WatchMe.c.

Enjoy,
