Howdy,

I'm trying to install a callback in a faceless quicktime app I'm 
developing in Codewarrior using Carbon. For the life of me I can't get 
it to work.

My playback code goes basically like this:

   EnterMovies();
   OpenMovieFile ( &myFileSpec, &myResRefNum, fsRdPerm );
   NewMovieFromFile ( &myMovie, myResRefNum, 0, NULL, newMovieActive, 
NULL );


Then I define the callback:

   myCallback = NewCallBack ( GetMovieTimeBase ( myMovie ), 
callBackAtExtremes );
   err = CallMeWhen ( myCallback, NewQTCallBackUPP 
(QTFinishedPlayingProc), NULL, triggerAtStop, 0, 0 );


And finally run the movie (its actually an audio file):

   StartMovie (myMovie);


Now, I'm doing most of the development on a command-line, then porting 
working code into my faceless app, so my callback, at the moment, looks 
like this:

pascal void QTFinishedPlayingProc ( QTCallBack cb, long refCon ) {
   printf("Callback reached: %d | %d", cb, refCon);
}


So I run the code. The movie plays and the callback never gets executed. 
I suspect it is because the program returns as soon as playback begins 
-- but supposedly OSX automatically runs MoviesTask, which makes sense, 
as the audio continues to the end, so I don't know about that. In any 
case I tried throwing in a MoviesTask loop, but it didn't make one whit 
of difference -- the callback still doesn't get executed.

I'm at my wit's end. This is the last hurdle I have to clear to finish 
the software, after which I can bill it and earn money with which to 
feed my daughter. So you see a lot is at stake. ;)

Any help appreciated.
