Did anyone get a solution to launching programs under OS X? I'm using Rev 2.1.2 with OS X 10.3.2 and trying to "launch" the three media players: Flash, RealOne and Windows Media Player with relevant media files. Only the Flash one works!
I've tried using:
launch mediafile with mediaPlayer
(where mediaPlayer is the full path to the Windows Media Player, say)
If I try this in the Message box, I get the error "no such program". But if I omit the mediafile from the launch command:
launch mediaPlayer
then it works fine, i.e. it opens the player (but doesn't play anything of course!). This is true for both Windows Media Player and RealOne Player, both of which are carbonised by the look of it (they are .app bundles, with embedded Contents/MacOS etc.) unlike the Flash Player which seems to be a native app.
I even tried to use AppleScript instead:
put "tell application " & quote & "Windows Media Player" & quote & return &\
" open " & quote & mediafile & quote & return &\
"end tell" & return into theScript
do theScript as AppleScript
but this just opens the Windows Media Player without playing the media file.
I want to be be able to make my Rev app like a video jukebox that handles the three formats by opening the relevant player in its own window.
Any ideas please??
