- Short: Standalone player for Amiga (v1.2c) 68k+WOS
- Uploader: Alexandre Balaban <abalaban@free.fr>
- Author: Alexandre Balaban since v1.2, Paul Hills upto v1.1
- Type: gfx/show
- Requires: 68040+ or PPC, AGA+
- Recommended: openurl.library
- Version: 1.2c
- Replace: swfplayer.lha
-
- Swfplayer is a standalone Shockwave player for Amiga based on libflash for
- Linux by Olivier Debon (odebon@club-internet.fr).
-
- This is just a QUICK rewrite of Paul Hill's version (paul@lagernet.clara.co.uk)
- to update to the last libflash available. It's NOT in any way a bug-fix version.
- I did my best no to add new bugs, but despite all my tests I may have missed
- some (but I don't think ;-). Nevertheless, if you ever find a bug that was not in
- Paul's version, please report me (new bugs will have priority, in order to reach
- a version with the same functionality and usability).
- It seems that despite of what I said in previous readme, this version is a bit
- faster than original version :-)
-
-
- I have included original readmes into the archive (both paul's one and libflash's).
-
- Tested on BPPC 603e+ (68040@25 and PPC 603@160), 128MB Fastram, OS3.9, BVPPC (CGFX3).
-
- Features :
- - supports swf files upto Flash 4 (and some Flash 5),
- - loop play option (on by default),
- - zoom in/out command,
- - pause command,
- - can open referenced URL (with OpenURL.library).
-
- Known Bugs or problems :
- - if OpenURL is present, 68k version may send your browser incomplete URLs : as
- swfplayer is an external player, it could not in any way know the base URL of
- the swf file, so swf files referencing other swf files without complete URL
- won't be loaded. :-( It's not a bug of swfplayer but a technical limit.
- - if OpenURL is present, strange URL can be sent to your browser (things like
- 'FSCommand:<xxx>') : this is a command flash movies can send when embeded into
- a browser (ie. when you have a flash plugin, which is not the when you're using
- swfplayer) in order to pass some parameters. This is not really a bug of my
- program, as it's libflash recognizing this command and passing it back to my
- openurl function... I'll try to solve this inconvenience in a future version.
- - PPC version can not open embeded URL : as I did not have a ppc proto for OpenURL
- (and don't know how to produce one for gcc) this feature is desactivated. :-(
- - swfplayer is reported to crash on 68040LC : I think it's just a compilation
- option, but did not manage to identify it :-(
-
- To Do :
- - filter out strange URLs,
- - add OpenURL support to PPC version (someone with PPC proto ?),
- - add audio support.
- - ...
-
