Yeah; I thought about a 'player only' exe that would load in an external xml I create (since that's how it's working internally) -- the trouble is that they wanted it to be 'packaged' for playback; my original thought was using the QTXtra to export a full Quicktime movie with all the slides as one quicktime - but to go full on Flash (and flv) would negate that entirely.
I had thought I could use the F8 filters as well as part of the new version - but since Director doesn't support that, only MX, that kills that as well. So my choices are: a) flash plays in director shell and export talks to Director, exports packaged zip with player and external media, xml of slideshow, MX only effects b) cut up the interface so that it's half flash and half Director, and export Quicktime movie as the slideshow; becomes a bit of a pita as Flash and Quicktime (on the stage) can't share the same rects without some hassle. c) have 2 different video files - flv and quicktime externally; user sees flv but when they make an export I deal wtih the QT assets and export QT. MX effects only but no Quicktime/Flash bothering. d) A guiliess director app launches an F8 projector and they speak to each other through a localconnection, same type as c. So it might still be possible... Thanks. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
