Hi everyone, is it possible to use the Movie class to load a movie over http? The doc at

http://processing.org/reference/libraries/video/Movie.html

… seems to imply you can. The Description says:

  Datatype for storing and playing movies in Apple's QuickTime format. Movies must be located in the 
  sketch's data directory or an accessible place on the network to load without an error.

I took a QuickTime movie from my hard drive that loads/plays fine, moved it to an http-accessible area, but can't get it to load in my sketch. I tried

myMovie = new Movie(this, "http://unixlab.sfsu.edu/~whsu/KinectFaceTest.mov");

… but no luck. I've done some searching, but the closest thing I found uses GSVideo (which I don't want to use since it depends on GLGraphics are doesn't work with Processing 2.x.)

I'm running Processing 2.2.1 on Mac OS 10.8. Suggestions appreciated; thanks!

Bill
