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.
The QTPlgNewSkinTrack class lets you create skinned movies by letting you to add a skin track to an existing movie. The skin track contains data that specifies the content region and the drag region of the movie window.
Skinned movies don’t have title bars or window frames, and they don’t display a controller bar.

The QTPlgNewSkinTrack class constructors are called when you create a new instance of the class, while the ˜QTPlgNewSkinTrack 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 conditions for more details.
The class provides you with the following initializer methods:
(m as ,
params as )
use this constructor to create a new skin track and add it to the movie specified by the m ;
you specify the content region and the drag region of the movie window by setting the
of the
params object as appropriate
()
use this method to add the content and drag mask pictures specified (see the
above) to the track
