revolution player vs. stackrunner launching documents
Hi, dear Revolution cognoscenti, I need your help with some development I'm doing. I'm an instructor, and have been using Revolution Studio (2.7.2) on a Mac with the latest OS to develop some language learning materials that I will distribute to students. The students will be using both windows and macs. In the past, I've been very successful in using StackRunner to distribute things, and it's worked better than the Revolution Player in the past -- meaning that more people were able to run my stacks with StackRunner than the Rev Player, perhaps because SR is cleaner, as it says on the Sons of Thunder webpage. Some people seem to have _ancient_ Windows computers that choke on nearly everything. But now I've run into a small problem -- StackRunner doesn't seem to be able to implement the launch document command (I assume some library isn't available), and I want to use that to provide students with access to millions of pdfs. I notice that the Player _does_ allow use of launch document. So here's my question: 1. What's the status of the Rev Player -- is it robust, and is it likely the bulk of your typical student community of Windows users will be able to use it to play my stacks (the only real demand is that they use lots of sound, but I've no problem with sounds testing with StackRunner on Windows? 2. Is there some other way to launch documents that _is_ likely implemented in StackRunner? Thanks so much for any comments. rand valentine ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I'll rebuild a new version with 2.7.3 and upload it to the STS web site. Thanks for the prod in the back... ;-) Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software Web site: http://www.sonsothunder.com/ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Rev's no cooperating and the 2.7.3 version of SR doesn't run properly; I'll update you when it's ready...
