Changes | The use of QuickTime was deprecated in version 8.1 of LiveCode with new defaults for dontUseQT and dontUseQTEffects as true on all systems apart from pre OS X 10.8. The Windows build of LiveCode no longer supports any QuickTime features and setting the dontUseQT and dontUseQTEffects will have no effect. Additionally QuickTime does not include 64 bit support and therefore can not be supported on OS X 64 bit builds of LiveCode. | ||||||

Description | Use the qtVersion function to make sure the version of QuickTime that's installed is recent enough to handle any version-dependent features in movies you want to play. On Unix systems, the qtVersion function always returns 2.0. On Mac OS and Windows systems, if QuickTime is not installed, the qtVersion function returns 0.0. Otherwise, it returns the QuickTime version number.
