Actually Charlie, using the movieRate property works fine too. While the
movie is not playing (i.e. when it reaches the end of the file), the
movieRate is set to 0. Zero is also interpreted as FALSE by Lingo, so it's
ok to check the movieRate.
One reason why this might be failing is that the QT cast members loop
property is set to TRUE. So it keeps on playing infinitely and the
movieRate is never equal to 0. Check that out Steffanie.

the movieRate property isn't true or false; it's a number. Standard speed
is 1, double speed is 2, half speed is 0.5, etc. (you
can even go negative to -1, -2, -0.5, etc.) You'll need to use the
movieTime property of the QT to test for its end. (The easiest
way to find out the movieTime property (called duration in the properties
tab) is to change the properties tab to list view and then
it's down at the bottom.)

I am needing to know how to get the QT movie that I just imported into my
dir. movie to play the entire way through before moving on to the next
marker.
