Damien,

You need to be more specific with your questions to get the best help.

If you are on a Macintosh computer then the answer is Yes just about every application can be controlled to some degree within Revolution using the do as applescript command. Also applications that do not have this ability or the aspect you are looking for builtin can still be controlled using "system events" and also Automator.

Now if you are on a Windows computer then the answer is Maybe since you can use VBscript to control an application IF it has a COM object for it. But I am afraid that I don't know if applications on Windows that don't have COM objects can be controlled or if there is an equivalent to the "system events" and Automator for Windows.

I don't know enough about Linux to give this answer.

Since most things can be done from within Revolution then the answer is to start there and see what Rev can do with the file/document etc. then look at the other solutions next and finally you can always write or hire some one to write and external etc. for what you want to do or search if one already exists.

For example:

If you wanted to display a web page you could try to control a browser from outside of Rev but altBrowser by Altuit already exists and is an excellent tool. But what if you just wanted to provide a link then you could still have Rev go to that URL, very simple. Now however if you wanted to fill in the fields on a page then you might need to dig deeper to get that done.

It is all dependent on what you really want to do and what you can live with and if you want to spend money to get it done.

The most general answer is "Anything can be done, but are you willing to put the resources into it?"

The application which I want to "integrate" is not scripttable, is it for exemple an mplayer window. Playing a video was an exemple. I just want to know if is it possible to do that.

Hi Girard,

Is the application you want to "integrate" with Revolution scriptable? Are you using Mac, Linux or Windows? WHy can't you play the movie in Revolution itself?

You might simply launch the movie file. Check the launch command in de docs.

Best,

Mark

Hi all,

I wan't to know how I can integrate an another software in Revolution ?

I need that because I have got the main software which call a sub software, this sub software play a video. And I want to show this video in the main software. So I want to know how I can integrate an another window in a runrev stack. (true integration or fake integration, I just want to see the video).

Thanks,

Girard Damien
