That's so cool, Andre! Nicely done... any idea on how to do it
on Windows?
;-)
I bet it's a registry hack, might even be easier than Macs...
I'll find out and tell you! ;-)
the beauty of this solution is that the stacks never touch the
disk, it's all on memory, the GURLGURL event will tell rev a URL
and Rev will load it on the fly. It's not like Safari downloading
the stack, taging it as a safe file type and loading after the
download. I don't know if we have this kind of flexibility in
windows, but I'll do some research!
Is there a way to have a user set this up without having to do it
manually themselves by downloading that specialized app?
It would be ideal if this could be set up via AppleScript, driven
by the click of a button in our apps....
Wouldn't this be opening up a huge security hole for users if it
could be done this easily? If I understand this correctly, this would
be similar to the "help" protocol security issue that was around with
OS X 10.2.8 (or thereabouts). See the following URL.

What can you do with things such as this? Well, you can create
educational resources as HTML and create little demo stacks, when
the user clicks on the demo stack links inside the HTML, the app
will load on demand inside Revolution (or Dreamcard player,
whichever is available, you could even create your own loader using
splash techniques), which would be a very easy student user
experience.
Unfortunately, I think someone could also add links in web pages to
stacks that read/delete your hard drive contents, install and launch
other apps, etc.
Sorry to be the doom merchant. :-)
