How to minimize a skinned interactive movie?

Submitted by Jérôme Chauvin on Tue, 2007-01-30 17:21.

I just would to know, please, if you know if and how is it possible to reduce/minimize an interactive movie (or a QTVR) in the task bar (Windows) or in the Dock (Mac) with Qscript that I could put on a button in a SpriteTrack?

As I use a skin in my project, I just can't use default buttons (close, minimize, maximize) 'cause they're masked.

I don't know how simulate the taping of Apple+M keys for Mac or Windows+M on Windows, because this could be a solution.

Thus, thanks in advance for any suggestion ! :-)

Regards,
Jérôme

Answer of Guillaume Iacino (which worked for Totaly Hip) :

"Jerome,

There is no wired action to minimize the QT window into the Dock. The only way you could do it would be to remove the skin track off your movie and display the standard QT window (without its controller). Or you could embed your movie inside an HTML.

Another solution, would be to add this functionality into QSXE, but this will require your users to install a 3rd party QuickTime component. You will also have to contract EdgeState (via Totally Hip) in order to add this functionality.

Best of luck,

Guillaume"
