QuickTime 4.1 & JavaScript for QT Plugin

From Josh Stewart, "Just though I'd pass along a little info I ran across today. Apple has posted the preliminary QT 4.1 documentation here. Within this PDF is an entire chapter on JavaScript support. I can't believe Apple didn't talk this new feature up more. This is something a lot of web developers have been begging for (Windows Media Player has had this for a while). Up to this point the only way to control a movie embed in a web page was through a wired QT movie. This required a program like Live Stage and was not easily updatable. As a web developer this feature alone is worth an upgrade to 4.1. I guess Apple has gotten so consumer oriented that it has left it up to developers to find out for themselves what new features Apple products have that will benefit their development efforts."
