Yes, of course! I found that the Spin Control buttons duplicate a
sub-set of functions that already exist in the QuickTime user
interface.
The Spin Control buttons do not allow simultaneous horizontal and
vertical scrolling and zooming, or variable speed scrolling, which the
existing (intuitive?) QuickTime user interface already provides.
