mc

The movie controller for the operation. You obtain this identifier from OpenComponent or OpenDefaultComponent, or from NewMovieController.

e

A pointer to the current EventRecord structure.

Return Value

A long integer indicating whether the movie controller component handled the event. The component sets this long integer to 1 if it handled the event.

Discussion

The movie controller component does everything necessary to support the movie controller and its associated movie. For example, the component calls MoviesTask for each movie. The movie controller component also handles suspend and resume events. It treats suspend events as deactivate requests and resume events as activate requests.

The following sample code shows how to convert Windows messages to Macintosh events and then pass those events to the QuickTime movie controller, using this function:

MCNewAttachedController

Associates a specified movie with a movie controller.

ComponentResult MCNewAttachedController (
   MovieController mc,
   Movie theMovie,
   WindowRef w,
   Point where
);

Parameters
mc

The movie controller for the operation. You obtain this identifier from OpenComponent or OpenDefaultComponent, or from NewMovieController.

theMovie

The movie to be associated with the movie controller.

w

A pointer to the window in which the movie is to be displayed. The movie controller component sets the movie's graphics world to match this window. If you set the w parameter to NIL, the component uses the current window.

MCPositionController

Controls the position of a movie and its controller on the computer display.

ComponentResult MCPositionController (
   MovieController mc,
   const Rect *movieRect,
   const Rect *controllerRect,
   long someFlags
);

Parameters
mc

The movie controller for the operation. You obtain this identifier from OpenComponent or OpenDefaultComponent, or from NewMovieController.

movieRect

A pointer to a Rect structure that specifies the coordinates of the movie's boundary Rect structure.

controllerRect

A pointer to a Rect structure that specifies the coordinates of the controller's boundary Rect structure. The movie controller component always centers the control portion of the controller inside this rectangle. The movie controller component only uses this parameter when the control portion of the controller is detached from the movie. If you are working with an attached controller, you can set this parameter to NIL.

someFlags

Flags (see below) that control how the movie is drawn. If you set these flags to 0, the movie controller component centers the movie in the rectangle specified by movieRect and scales the movie to fit in that rectangle. See these constants:

  • mcTopLeftMovie

  • mcScaleMovieToFit

  • mcPositionDontInvalidate

MCPtInController

Reports whether a point is in the control area of a movie.

ComponentResult MCPtInController (

   Point thePt,
   Boolean *inController
);

Parameters
mc

The movie controller for the operation. You obtain this identifier from OpenComponent or OpenDefaultComponent, or from NewMovieController.

thePt

The point to be checked. This point must be passed in local coordinates to the controller's window. This point is checked only against the movie controller's controls, not the movie itself.

inController

Returns true if the point is in the controller; false if it is not.

Return Value

You can access Movie Toolbox error returns through GetMoviesError and GetMoviesStickyError, as well as in the function result. See Error Codes.

Discussion

While you could always determine if a point is contained in a movie, using PtInMovie, the MCPtInController function allows you to determine if a point is in the control area of a movie.

MCSetActionFilterWithRefCon

Establishes an action filter function for a movie controller.

ComponentResult MCSetActionFilterWithRefCon (
   MovieController mc,
   MCActionFilterWithRefConUPP blob,
   long refCon
);

Parameters
mc

The movie controller for the operation. You obtain this identifier from OpenComponent or OpenDefaultComponent, or from NewMovieController.

blob

A pointer to your MCActionFilterWithRefConProc callback. Set this parameter to NIL to remove an existing callback.

refCon

A reference constant value. The movie controller component passes this reference constant to your action filter callback each time it calls it. Use this parameter to point to a data structure containing any information your callback needs.

Return Value

You can access Movie Toolbox error returns through GetMoviesError and GetMoviesStickyError, as well as in the function result. See Error Codes.

Discussion

The movie controller component calls your action filter function each time the component receives an action for its movie controller. Your filter function is then free to handle the action or to refer it back to the movie controller component. If you refer it back to the movie controller component, the component handles the action.

If your filter function handles an action, you can handle the action in any way you desire. For example, your filter function could change the operation of movie controller buttons. More commonly, applications use the action filter function to monitor actions of the controller. For instance, your filter function might enable you to find out when the user clicks the play button, so that your application can enable appropriate menu selections. Alternatively, you can use the filter function to detect when the user resizes the movie.

MCSetControllerPort

Lets your application set the graphics port for a movie controller.

ComponentResult MCSetControllerPort (
   MovieController mc,
   CGrafPtr gp
);

Parameters
mc

The movie controller for the operation. You obtain this identifier from OpenComponent or OpenDefaultComponent, or from NewMovieController.

gp

A pointer to the new graphics port for the movie controller. Set this parameter to NIL to use the current graphics port.

Return Value

You can access Movie Toolbox error returns through GetMoviesError and GetMoviesStickyError, as well as in the function result. See Error Codes.

Discussion

Movie controller components use MCSetControllerPort each time you create a new movie controller. Hence, your component must be set to a valid port before creating a new movie controller. You can use this function to place a movie and its associated movie controller in different graphics ports. If you are using an attached controller, both the controller and the movie's graphics ports are changed. If you are using a detached controller, this function changes only the graphics port of the control portion of the controller. You must use SetMovieGWorld followed by MCMovieChanged to change other portions.

pascal ComponentResult MCSetControllerPort (MovieController mc,
                                            CGrafPtr gp);
Special Considerations

The movie controller component may use the foreground and background colors from the graphics port at the time this function is called to colorize the movie controller.
