Documentation for AppleScript QuickTime specifiers?

Can anyone point me to some on-line documentation for all of the specifiers I can use in AppleScript to control the behavior of QuickTime? I’m using Leopard (10.5.4) with QuickTime 7.5.

By “specifiers”, I mean those attributes whose values are managed via the set command in AppleScript. For one example out of many, one of these specifiers is presentation mode, and it can be set as follows:

[b]set presentation mode to full[/b]

I’m looking for a list of all of the attributes that can be set for QuickTime via the set command, what each of these attributes means, what values it can be set to, and what QuickTime’s behavior will be based on each of these settings.

Unless I’m missing something, the QuickTime application dictionary docs only talk about commands, not about specific attributes that can be set.

Thanks in advance.

I think I might have figured out a partial answer to my question: at least some of the “specifiers” I’m referring to are part of the “application” and “document” objects that are referred to in the application dictionary for QuickTime … correct?

I’m kind of new to QuickTime and I’m just now learning about the object model for AppleScript-enabled applications.

So is it correct that I can find all of these “specifiers” and “attributes” described in the “document” and “application” sections of an application’s dictionary? Or are there other places where some of these would be located and documented?

Thanks for your understanding and patience as I try to grasp this knowledge.

Hi,

you’re right. All terminology is documented in an application’s dictionary
