Play Movie On Specific Display? (Dislpay 1, Display 2)

If you have multiple displays hooked up to your Mac, is it possible to tell QT or Finder or something to play a movie on one of those displays specifically?

Thanks,

You can move a window’s position. You can find the screen properties with this:

tell (do shell script "defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver DisplaySets | awk '/ Height =/||/ Width =/'") to set screenRes to {word 6 as integer, word 3 as integer, word 12 as integer, word 9 as integer}

Then move the QuickTime window where you want it.

tell application "QuickTime Player"
	set position of window 1 to {500, 500} -- moves the top left hand corner to those coordinates
end tell

The following code works to show a movie full-screen in my two-screen setup (change display 1 to display 2 for the other display).

tell application "QuickTime Player" to present first document scale screen mode normal display 1
