Hi Francis,
You can set a password for a directory and prevent downloading the MP3
files without password. For a demo, you could use small 20 seconds
fragments of the same MP3 files and put those into a different,
unprotected directory. You can download the files using a put URL
command. Put the MP3 files into the application data folder on Windows
and the application support folder on Mac.
If you are able to build standalones, you can make a zip file of the
standalone and upload it. Just point to the zip file in e-mails and
html files to allow people to download the standalone.
It would help potential customers very much if you provided an (.exe)
installer for Windows, which installs the standalone automatically.
For Mac users, just put all files inside the application package of
the standalone and tell them to copy the entire thing into their
application folder.
Btw, if you have more than 1 server, you can write a simple irev
script to randomly write out HTML files with links to different
mirrors. That might spread your bandwidth.

Hi from Paris,
I have a Revolution demonstration program that I want to show to
potential buyers. The demo stack is called by a Mac or PC
SplashStack, so I effectively have two stacks.
I could send it by CD, but this takes time, but it would be so nice
to allow them to download it from my On-Rev server. The program
displays lots of text and graphics (all internal), so no problem
there, However, the user can play any of a large number of MP3 song
files, which are in an external (to the Rev program) folder, also on
the server.
Can I play an MP3 file in the user computer from a folder on the On-
Rev server, or download it (about 5 megs) first, and then play it ?
Because this would make all of our song files available (not very
intelligent), I would like to modify my splashstack to ask for a
password, and only download the music to accepted users.
And finally, how does the user download my program (Mac or PC
version) from the On-Rev server ? It might seem easy to some of you,
but I've never done this before !!
This represents rather a lot of questions, but if I get answers
here, I promise to go away and not bother you guys for a long time :>)
May I add that these are the sort of answers which I would love to
find in a Rev cook-book.
OSX Leopard, Rev 3.0, build 750, On-Rev access.
