Tom, Dan: Yes, of course one can set this all up manually. Keynote just seems to use apple internal ability to know all this stuff, which Revolution may not be able to access. I work all day with my 17 G4 powerbook plugged into a 21 cinema display, with the external Cinema display monitor set

Sivakatirswami Here's what you can do: You need to have a computer that can support a second monitor as an extension of the computer's monitor. On the mac side, only the professional line (PowerBook, G5 tower) has this function built in. You cannot make this work with an iBook, an eMac or an

Dan, Sivakatirswami, This approach assumes you have mirror imaging 'OFF' in order to have two distinct screen areas. I don't know how (applescript, do process, shell) to do this. Or how to detect this to not get errors. Something like If the system has two monitors (?) then turn off 'video

Dan, That is of course if the alt monitor is at 0,0. We would need to determine where the second monitor is located at. I will look into the new Keynote as to wether it auto detects or not. I can't remember. I will also check my kids iBook. I use a PowerBook G4 15. Tom On May 2, 2005, at 9:23

Maybe RR should consider a generous and widely publicized sidegrade deal for current owners of Director who are nervous. I've seen such campaigns pull in huge sales. On May 1, 2005, at 1:45 PM, Thomas McGrath III wrote: Especially since a lot of people use Director/Flash for software

Dan, I agree especially since we are talking about Director and not so much about Flash. A sidegrade targeted to the making a standalone application side versus the making an animation side which can and will be taken up by Flash. The high selling point is that the move over does away with the

Oops I think I actually forgot to ask my question: How do you do this in Revolution: Keynote can output one window to the channel that goes out to the projector -- video port. i.e. it shows on the screen. and the second window is locked onto the personal PC's LCD screen, where the latter
