Few years ago xworld released the EXT.dll from Diskotek. This DLL has a command "loadfont" to install font in a stack.
Apparently this dll is no more supported by Runrev. I gave a try and by me it works well with Revolution 212/Windows XP.
Does anybody have a good or a bad experience of this dll with revolution ? It is reliable ?
QUESTION : HOW TO DISPLAY VIDEO IN REVOLUTION/WINDOWS
I asked this question few weeks ago and received no answer so i had to study that by myself.
1) Quicktime player : that's the basic solution when Quicktime is avalaible. But on lot of computers Quicktime is not avalaible and the end-user is not allowed to install it.
2) According to the rev doc, if Quicktime is not installed, it is possible to display AVI movies in the player. I tried but never successed. Was someone happier than me ?
3) MCISendString. Few years ago i shared on the metacard list a MPEG player for metacard based on MCISendString. This is old technology, but it still works.
The MCISendString() function is still in Revolution and Microsoft released in 2003 a new documentation for MCI at the adress MSDN Home > MSDN Library
Windows Multimedia > MCI.
4) A good (the best ?) solution. Altuit released "altBrowser.dll" what allows to display a web page in Revolution/Windows. But a web page can embedd multimedia activeX. I tried to display html pages embedding Flash movies and it works very well. It means than it is possible to display digital video (encoded with flash), vector animation, panned sounds, full styled html text with tables, CSS, javascript...
The big advantage is that Internet Explorer and Flash Player are on all Windows computer since Win98.
