hi,

i am TOTALLY new to REVOLUTION...i was trying a similar project...

to make a PROGRAM that plays MPEG video files...

as far as i could see...the VIDEOPLAYER control...can ONLY play quiktime....

what is revVIDEOPLAYER???

is it a library of FUNCTION COMPONENTS?

i am finding REVOLUTION is a great piece of SOFTWARE...but you need to spedn TIME...learning the TRANSCRIPT LANGUAGE...

i do NOT like learning LANGUAGES...or the SYNTAX and RULES regarding languages...it is TEDIOUS...

although REVOLUTION has TONNES of POWER under it's hood...you still have to LEARN transcript....you know...

if you look at even a simple PROGRAM....like a CLOCK FACE...you find it has nearly 100 lines of CODE...just to make a GRAPHICAL clock TICK around the SECONDS....

this is TOO MUCH CODE..for such a simple REQUIREMENT...in my opinion...

www.codemorphis.com

this SYNPOSIS software has ZERO code...you never see a single LETTER of code...it is just WIRING diagrams.....it does VIDEO and things like this...GRAPHICS TOO...

you could make a CLOCK FACE in an hour...with SYNPOSIS...with ZERO CODE ever seen...

also you can use the windows API library...which holds TEN THOUSAND fucntions for windows programming..in DLL files...

i am going to try HARDER with REVOLUTION...but again...it looks like CODE CODE CODE....to get results...

this is NOT a VISUAL RAD TOOL.....whereas SYNOPSIS is totally VISUAL...with ZERO CODE...(there is NO language to learn)

cheers

Ben
