README - QTStreamMsg

This snippet shows a few ways to work with the messages that are displayed
in the controller bar of a streaming movie. For instance, when a connection
is first established to the streaming server, you'll typically see a series
of messages like "Connecting", "Negotiating", "Buffering", and the like.
This sample code illustrates:

	(1) how to determine the status message that is about to be displayed
	(2) how to substitute your own message for a particular streaming message
	(3) how to suppress the streaming messages altogether
	(4) how to display a message in the controller bar of a streaming movie

You perform task (4) by calling the QTStreamMsg_IssueMessage defined in the file
QTStreamMsg.c. To perform the others, you need to have a movie controller action
filter procedure installed by your application. The function QTStreamMsg_ActionFilterProc
defined in QTStreamMsg.c shows how to perform (1), (2), and (3).

Enjoy,
