To add a QuickTime script as a wired action
You can add a QuickTime script as an action to four types of tracks: sprite, text, movie, and Flash tracks. The event
triggers for the action, such as mouse over or mouse click, and the actions vary depending on the track type.

•
To create a new movie, choose File > New, and then select Web > Multimedia > QuickTime Movie.
• To open an existing movie, choose File > Open.

From the QuickTime set of the objects toolbox, drag the movie track, text track, sprite track, or Flash Track icon
to the Timeline Editor window.
3 Access the track’s Action controls as follows:
•
For a movie track, select the track, and then click Actions in the Movie Track Inspector.

from the pop-up menu that appears. The Action controls appears in the center of the Text Sample Inspector.
