QuickTime JavaScript API docs?

I'm currently trying to add a QuickTime player via the Apple-provided JavaScript utility as described in the HTML Scripting Guide for QuickTime Apple docs to my web application.

The only problem I have is that there is no JavaScript API documentation - there is another article in the Apple Docs on Controlling Media with JavaScript - but this only covers the HTML <audio> tag JavaScript API, which is different form the QuickTime Embed/Object JavaScript API.

Dose anybody know where to find the QuickTime JavaScript API?

It genuinely appears this documentation is no longer available only the HTML Scripting guide(, and I've compared them, they are not the same) via Apple.

Here is the first, last and only HTML-Version backup-copy on archive.org (document was last updated on 2008-02-08 and archived on 2010-10-14):
https://web.archive.org/web/20101014174405/http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/QuickTime/Conceptual/QTScripting_JavaScript/aQTScripting_Javascro_AIntro/Introduction%20to%20JavaScript%20QT.html

However.. after (quite) some more digging.. I found a backup of the original pdf, (again, document was last updated 2008-02-08, archived on 2012-09-16, this is the last/youngest version I could find): https://web.archive.org/web/20120916183252/https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/QuickTime/Conceptual/QTScripting_JavaScript/QTScripting_JavaScript.pdf

For future generations who wish to verify the pdf-document downloaded from a 'less-trusted' source (I just wish I had such info when backtracking ancient official specs):

  • filesize: 336906 bytes
  • MD5: 4575cebea8cf2f1c4df9edb20f951edf
  • SHA1: f1956f2c45fedc6eda95b825a3170e7b7b9a28d5
  • CRC32: ef814f0d

I found JavaScript Scripting Guide for QuickTime here from 2007. A bit old. If you found a newer one in the meanwhile let me now.
