Hi all,
This is my first post here as am new to OpenLaszlo.
I am working on a video streaming platform and in past Alpha
"development" release was using SMIL 2.0 with RealPlayer. This
actually worked quite well but wanted more out of it and began
looking at SWF + Flash Video.
I know Flash is much more popular and greater PC deployment, but
basically want to support both ways for a couple of reasons:
1) partner affiliates/support (i.e. not sure but down the road
could work with Real Networks)
2) current issues in Flash Player due to synch of multiple streams
(video with multiple audio languages)
,... so thinking of using OpenLaszlo for SWF + FLV as well as DHTML
+ SMIL. The former can all be run via Flash Player whereas the
latter of course would launch Real Player or use embedded in
webpage and have to do video streaming in separate part of webpage
or within Real Player's HTML Pane. This way I can have my logon,
user profile, setup pages and other portal aspects (searching for
and listing available VOD movies), etc. in OpenLaszlo regardless of
SWF or DHTML execution.
This is the background and now on to my question:
In respect to above, can I have differing program code logic
execution (i.e. branching) based upon whether an OpenLaszlo app is
running in DHTML versus SWF mode? Is there a way to tell? I would
like to keep all SWF + FLV processing within same OpenLaszlo app as
portal. Otherwise, maybe better to spawn separate process or
another OpenLaszlo or Flash SWF app?
Thank you and kindest regards,
Mark Bobsin
