Re: Overriding QT's behavior
I have an app in which I have a QT movie AND I need to do unique things when
the user presses the Return key. It seems that QT is overriding the Return
key, using it to toggle movie playback; it ignores the Enter key, which lets
me do what I need.
How can I get control of the Return key back from QT?
Turn off traversalOn.
Last night in a wild fit of random testing, I stumbled across that solution
and it does seem to work well. In fact, too well, or at least
unorthogonally well:
Why would traversalOn affect the input of some keys (Return) but not others
(arrow keys)? This turns out to be the exact behavior I wanted, but it
seems inconsistent conceptually.
Also, why is the propery called "traversalOn" rather than simply
"traversal"? Most of the language simply has a state descriptor as a
property name for Boolean property values ("hilite", "allowInterrupts",
etc.), and it seems clumsy to my ear to put the "On" after it -- can you
imagine if other properties followed suit (e.g., "allowInterruptsOn")?

RE: Overriding QT's behavior
I don't do much with quicktime but would putting the returnKey handler in the player might do it. If you need it in the card script you could send it to the card with the handler in the player.
