I'm trying to play a flash movie (.flv - H.264, 320 x 216, Millions; AAC, Stereo, 22.050 kHz).
I imported and played it successfully in OpenSophie, but before I attempt to port the code (which is Tweak-based) into Squeak, is there any currently existing code that can do this?
The current conversation (moved from
http://forum.world.st/Sophie-MPEG-Player-td2341744.html) was how OpenSophie is doing what it does:

How to open a QT movie programmatically?
<snip>
I gave up trying to open a movie with code in a Workspace, and decided
to learn from what works, which is to open the Macbeth example file.
That shows a Tweak-managed infinite loop ( [self isMovieDone]
whileFalse: in SophieQuickTimeAudio>>playMovieScript) running between
SophieMovieFramePlayer and SophieQuickTimeMovieViaPlugin. The Player has
the buttons. ViaPlugin accesses QuickTime on the Mac.
I'm still in the middle of digging out details about Tweak and
#startScript: before I go back to that part. It's lead me down an
AsyncScriptMessageSend rabbit hole. If you want to freak yourself out,
open the ProcessBrowser. Freaked me out.

I know nothing about Tweak. How did you jump from seeing the Sophie UI to finding that loop? When I couldn't bring up halos, I started fruitlessly searching brute-force through the class browser.

I'll check it out - I like excitement :)

You've put your finger on the big question in Tweak: how did this go
from here to there?
I see what you mean. I got stuck even before this process - if you can't bring up halos, how do you even know which class/method to *start* with?
I did some digging, and found that the entry point (when you import a QT movie from the menu) is:
SophieQuickTimeMovieViaPlugin new resource: res; yourself.
So the problem with the example code was that resource was not set and was still nil. Still digging...
