Hi Ernest,
Just change your code from
if quickTimeVersion(4.0) then
to
if quickTimeVersion() >= 4.0 then
A good place to check for quicktime is a movie without any quicktime
members. This will avoid any errors dialogs that Director might generate if
it can't load the quicktime members or the Quicktime Xtras. For example
Stub Projector -- > goes to "Init.dir" --> goes to the main movie
Then in the "Init.dir" movie, add your code to check for quicktime and do
any other setup that you want.
