Many thanks Sean. Your Lingo script worked perfectly.
 The info from Director MX2004 Help (see below) mislead me a bit.  Because 
percentStreamed is a Quicktime Sprite property, I thought that it was possible 
to use the lingo shown in the example below with a Quicktime sprite. I don?t 
use much Lingo as you can see. 

 percentStreamed (Member)
 Usage
 -- Lingo syntax
 memberOrSpriteObjRef.percentStreamed

 // JavaScript syntax
 memberOrSpriteObjRef.percentStreamed;
 Description
 Shockwave Audio (SWA) and Flash cast member property, and QuickTime sprite 
property.
 For SWA streaming sounds, gets the percent of a SWA file already streamed from 
an HTTP or FTP server. For SWA, this property differs from the percentPlayed 
property in that it includes the amount of the file that has been buffered but 
not yet played. This property can be tested only after the SWA sound starts 
playing or has been preloaded by means of the preLoadBuffer command.
 For Flash movie cast members, this property gets the percent of a Flash movie 
that has streamed into memory. 
 For QuickTime sprites, this property gets the percent of the QuickTime file 
that has played.
 This property can have a value from 0 to 100%. For a file on a local disk, the 
value is 100. For files being streamed from the Internet, the percentStreamed 
value increases as more bytes are received. This property cannot be set.
 Example
 This example displays the percentage of the SWA streaming cast member Ray 
Charles that has streamed and puts the value in a field:
 -- Lingo syntax
 on exitFrame
        whatState = member("Ray Charles").state
        if whatState > 1 AND whatState < 9 then
