I have Quicktime 5 and 6 installed on my machine (OS X), but I want to activate version 6 when I’m using Quicktime Player in my script.

tell application "QuickTime Player"
	activate
	set new_file to "mscmt2003:cc10:Desktop:hinted.mov"
	open {alias "mscmt2003:cc10:Desktop:text1"} 
	if (can export movie 1 as hinted movie) is true then
		export movie 1 to file new_file as hinted movie using default settings
	else
		display dialog "Can't Hint"
	end if
	quit
end tell

This starts up Classic and runs version 5 of QT. Can anybody tell me how to just activate QuickTime Player version 6?

You can try targetting it by path:

set QuickTime6 to "/Applications/QuickTime Player.app" as POSIX file as text
--> eg, "My Disk Name:Applications:QuickTime Player.app"

using terms from application "QuickTime Player" --> so you can use its terms
	tell application QuickTime6
		return QuickTime language
	end tell
end using terms from
