[javascript-dev] Re: JitterListener and jit.qt.movie read...bug?

i'm not so sure it's just a javascript problem, as I encounter a similar difficulty with regular old max patching.  This patch, when used with a library of DV clips, demonstrates that the "read" message from an asyncread isn't actually reported after the movie is "readable" by qt.movie.  I would expect that, in this patch, asyncread and read would give similar results.
