QuickTime 5 introduced support for displaying movies inside of arbitrarily shaped windows. These windows are called skinned movie windows, and the custom shape of one of those windows is called its skin. You can think of QuickTime skins just as a QuickTime movie with a custom window shape. A skin provides a way of selecting some portion of an existing movie and having that portion be all that’s displayed to the user when the movie is opened.

The QTPlgSkinMediaDesc class provides you with properties and methods that let you whether access or create new instances of such a QuickTime description structure.







The QTPlgSkinMediaDesc class constructors are called when you create a new instance of the class, while the ˜QTPlgSkinMediaDesc class destructor, is called automatically when the class is no more in use. Also, you can invoke the class destructor by setting the instance of the class to nil.
Once a new class instance is returned, it is good practice to check the class property to be sure that the new object can be used. See the validity requirements for more details.

The class provides you with the following initializer methods:
()
This is the default constructor. Use this constructor to create a completely new data descriptor container in memory
(other as QTPlgSkinMediaDesc)
This is the copy constructor. The properties of the object to be copied will be used to initialize the new class instance properties

a picture mask that specifies which portion of the movie rectangle we want to appear as the content region of the skinned movie window. The content region of a window is the portion of the window in which an application displays the contents of a document; in this case, it’s where the movie data and any movie controls are displayed
a picture mask that specifies the portion of the skinned movie window that the user can grab and drag. A user can click anywhere in this region and drag the window around
