I need to control a quicktime movie in one frame, from a control script in another frame. The only function I need to use is the SetURL function (see In IE6, this works fine. The QT manual page says that we should be able to use these functions from Netscape 7 and this page: seems to imply that the latest versions of QT are supported in firefox.
So basically, what I need is for you guys to fix this so it works in all browsers (IE5+, Opera, Firefox):
============ index.html ============

<head>
<title>frame control demo</title>
</head>
<frameset cols="*,*">
<frame src="controlframe.html" name="controlframe" scrolling="no" noresize="noresize" frameborder="1" />
<frame src="objectframe.html" name="objectframe" scrolling="no" noresize="noresize" frameborder="0" />
<noframes>
<body>
You need a frames-enabled browser to use this application. </body>
</noframes>
</frameset>

<span onMouseOver="this.style.background = '#336699'; this.style.color = '#ffffff';" onMouseOut="this.style.background = '#ddeeff'; this.style.color = '#000033';" onclick="parent.objectframe.document.getElementById('movie1').SetURL('titrate.mov');" style="background: #ddeeff; color: #000033; font-weight: bold;"> Alter URL </span><br/><br/>

</body>
</html>
At the moment I can't even get it to work in Firefox with the controls in the same frame. The javascript console keeps saying:
Error: parent.objectframe.document.getElementById("movie1").Stop is not a function
Please note:
1) the actual movies used don't matter at this stage (I just downloaded two random ones for this example frameset)
2) I can't reload the frame as the actual application I'm writing does some authentication routines which take a lot of server time and, as there will be lots of users of the final system, this is not an acceptable method. i.e. I MUST be able to use the setURL() function.
