Interactivity is one of the most captivating topics for today"s online
community. It is a fast-growing field pushed by the rapid development and
dispersion of Java, Shockwave, Flash, and QuickTime. While several good books
are available about the interactive capabilities of Java, Shockwave, and Flash,
until now there hasn"t been a book about QuickTime interactivity. A logical
follow-up to QuickTime for the Web, this eagerly awaited book by Matthew
Peterson details the power of QuickTime"s wired media technology and provides a
resource for professionals developing and deploying interactive QuickTime
content. This content can extend far beyond simple movies—it can act as
application user interfaces, educational multimedia, scientific display panels,
musical instruments, games and puzzles, etc., and can interact with you, your
browser, a server, or with other movies.
