Using Rev 1.0.1 I've developed a dual Mac/PC CD-ROM product that launches Acrobat to display a range of Acrobat files and the QuickTime Player for a series of QT movies. This works fine with both Mac and Windows systems when run locally. However, if I mount the CD-ROM on one system and make it a shared resource, things go wrong with access across the network.
If I try activating my code to launch and display Acrobat files or QuickTime Player and QT files, nothing happens if the CD-ROM is being accessed over the network (even if the files are small). However, if I simply open a window to display the actual Acrobat and QuickTime files and then double-click them open it works fine! The network is reasonably fast (10/100 Ethernet) and whilst some files are very large (100Mb QT movies), others are very modest (175k-6.5Mb Acrobat files, plus 4.5Mb-30Mb QT files). It seems to be a problem with both the Rev Player object (for QT movies) and the ext_openFile command from the original Externals Collection. Any ideas about how I can get this to work over the network as well as locally or is this a bug in Rev?
