I thought I would report that Kevin helped me solve this issue by pointing out that launch, shell and applescript currently work in a revlet as long as the appropriate security settings are check-marked in the Standalone Settings dialog. I probably should have caught that on my own earlier, but since I missed it, perhaps others might as well. Changing those settings enabled these three functions to work fine in a revlet (which gave me access to externals support through the back door by allowing the revlet to launch a separate invisible Rev standalone which had externals enabled).

I need to run Trevor's enhanced quicktime external in a revlet. At this time, however, externals can't be run in a revlet. Not sure when that will change... by the official release in September perhaps?

As an alternative, it would work fine if I could have the revlet launch a separate Rev application that uses the external. But the "launch, shell and applescript" commands are disabled in the alpha version as well. I know there is an Internet Explorer "loophole" to start up an application through javascript, but this won't work in Safari or Firefox.

Does anyone know when revweb will be able to take advantage of an external?

Anyone have any creative ideas how I might (at this time) launch a Rev app from a revlet or an html page across IE, Firefox and Safari (or more precisely, incorporate an external into a revlet)?

I suppose I could just ask the user to start up a separate application when my revlet starts running, but this is not a very elegant solution.

Thanks.
