Now that's an interesting title for an email, eh?
Well, my boss has asked me if it's technically possible to create a
crossplatform Revolution "wrapper" around the talking-heads that are generated from
the _www.oddcast.com_ (http://www.oddcast.com) servers.
Those talking heads are actually Flash files, and I know that Flash files
can be displayed in Revolution via Quicktime. However, Quicktime sometimes has
a problem with Flash files that contain interactivity.
In our case, we want to "publish" a talking head speaking a sentence or two
to a web-server, but have the Revolution app on the client-side pull from that
URL to play the talking-head in a custom window.
Anyone know if this would be possible?
should be, since you can set the filename of a player to a url like "http://www...";
and QT takes care of the download...
With the wonderful QT external supplied by Trevor DeVore (thanks a thousand times, Trevor!!! :-)
you can even monitor the progress of the download, if necessary, which is not possible otherwise...
But the problem with Flash not being 100% compatible with QT (or vice versa) still remains...
Hope that helps...
