Peter, I used MCI with MetaCard a long time ago and it worked; it allows you to play from a position to another position, so it may be a good approach for you. Scott Rossi has a reference at his site: http://www.tactilemedia.com/info/MCI_Control_Info.html Although this doesn't help on the

The problem we have is corporate clients who don't want to install ANYTHING on their workstations in order to run training packages with multimedia content! Thus they say it's OK as long as it uses the standard media facilities in Windows!! Given the variations in Windows standards for media,

Hi Claude Thanks for the suggestion. On a windows computer, you are sure that Internet Explorer AND the Flash plugin are installed, they are standard media facilities in windows. I dont remember exactly, but i believe that Internet Explorer is delivered with Flash plugin 4. You have to check

I don't understand -- Flash displays video, so why would your clips have to be separate from your app? http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/productinfo/features/static_tour/me dia/index.html#03 Regards, Scott Rossi As I understand it, I'd have to launch the Flash standalone player in order

OK but what I'm saying is, if you're at the mercy of your corporate client, why not create the entire set of media and deliver in Flash, using one (Flash) player. Sure it might be easier to use Rev, but from what you're describing it sounds like that's not an option for you. Regards, Scott Rossi

Thanks for the tip. However, I'd need a Mac version as well (which is under consideration, but NOT under development as far as I know). Hi Peter, Yes, you are correct. Unfortunately, there is not a Mac version at this time. We're hoping to have the browser embedded into the RR engine in a

That's my fault. With altBrowser, you pay only once and you can distribute it with any of your standalones as many times as you like royalty free. The only thing we ask is you not 'resell' it to other developers -- they should purchase their own copy:-) I need to put a real license up there.

I'm trying to support a Win client who doesn't have (and won't have!) QuickTime installed. Whilst AVI files run fine through Rev (I'm using v2.1.2) they are much bigger and poorer quality than WMV files. However, when I try to play back WMV files from Rev I get intermittent results -

As far as I know, control over video is pretty minimal if you don't use QT so I don't believe you can do what you want without QT. I may be wrong but I've run into the same issue you describe. Regards, Scott Rossi Hmm, thanks Scott for the feedback. Has anyone had any success using the
