Output
(internal)
Out left outlet: Once the playbar and a movie object are linked, the playbar controls the movie. playbar only supports being connected to one movie object at a time. The connection must be made with a patch cord; it cannot take place via a send- receive pair.
int
Out right outlet: Each command processed by playbar is sent by number out its right outlet. A directory of command numbers and their meaning can be found in the QuickTime Standard Movie Play Controller documentation. By properly interpreting these commands, you can potentially use playbar for other purposes besides movie control. However, the "thumb" in the controller has no range until an associated movie with a non-zero duration is linked to the playbar.
