		set playerPosition to (current time of front document) - step
		set movieDuration to duration of front document

			set isPlaying to true
		end if
		if (playerPosition ≥ movieDuration) then
			if front document is playing then
				stop front document

@nicwolff: Very usefull scripts. Thank you for providing it!

Hi! Thanks for providing the script, it looks exactly like what I need. Since I'm new to AppleScript, can you explain how could I use it? Ideally I would like to use arrow keys to go forward/backward of 10 seconds while playing videos in Quicktime Player.
