NETWORK PLAYER - README.TXT
GENERAL NOTES:
This file outlines general notes, system
requirements, known problems with workarounds, and
known problems without workarounds.
Macromedia's Network Player is a Director 4.0.4
compatible Windows playback application.
Copyright (c) 1995 Macromedia. All rights reserved.
The Windows Reference Player is the property of Macromedia
and may not be altered, reproduced or copied in any way,
shape or form without prior written consent from Macromedia.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
Hardware: IBM compatible PC:
- Intel 80386-25 Mhz
- VGA
- 5 MB free disk space
- 8 MB RAM
Software: Microsoft DOS 6.00.
Microsoft Windows 3.1x.
Microsoft Windows 95
Netscape: Beta 3
KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH WORKAROUNDS:
- Functionality may vary when running in anything other than
8 bit screen depth (256 colors).
Workaround: Run in 8 bit screen depth (256 colors).
- If the Disk Cache is set to 0 (zero) size, movies will
not play.
- Netscape may crash if the Disk Cache is not set high enough.
Workaround: Set Disk Cache to at least 5000k
- Resizing the Netscape window while a movie is playing may
result in orphaned movies that continue to play and will
crash when you quit.
Workaround: Avoid resizing a Netscape window while a
movie is playing. You may end up with an unattached movie
that floats and will cause a crash when you quit the Navigator.
KNOWN PROBLEMS WITHOUT WORKAROUNDS:
- Shutting down or restarting the computer while a movie
is playing will crash Netscape.
AUTHORS NOTES:
1. "NetAbort" does not actually stop the Navigator from delivering the current stream.
However, the Plug-In ignores the rest of the data the Navigator downloads.
2. Attempting to embed the same Director movie multiple times in an HTML page does not work.
You must make copies of the original movie for each instance.
3. The "GotoNetMovie" Lingo command now accepts an anchor in the URL. This anchor is
the name of a marker in the score of the movie referenced by the URL.
Example:
GotoNetMovie "http://somewhere.com/somemovie.dcr#mymarker"
This will make the movie, "somemovie.dcr" start playing on the frame marked, "mymarker".
