You will have better luck using the one with R6 I think..it was set up 
for "either/or" (though I never got that to work), this R7 puppy is 
Movie Controller city all over the place.

Roll your own. It's not real hard, as FN Nickelodeon shows.

Apple would be nice to have a One line Player. They probably do 
nowadays though.

QTPlayThisMovie(MovieSpec as FSSpec, controller as 
boolean,centerOnscreen as boolean)

But you can do that easy enough. :)
