SWFPLAYER
---------
A standalone ShockWave player for the Amiga.
Requirements:
68020 or better with a maths-coprocessor.
Kickstart 3.0+
A graphics card gives better results, but is not required.
Usage:
swfplayer FILE,PUBSCREEN/K,INFO/S,MONOSOUND/S,MAXWIDTH/K/N,MAXHEIGHT/K/N,ACTIVEPLAY/S:
FILE The name of the .swf file to play.
PUBSCREEN The name of the public screen to open on. e.g. IBrowse
PUBSCREEN The name of the public screen to open on. e.g. IBrowse
MONOSOUND Play all sounds in mono. Experimental option really.
MAXWIDTH The maximum width window to use to play the animations. This
is usefull to limit the size on lower resolution Amigas.
Smaller window size play back faster too.
MAXHEIGHT The same as MAXWIDTH but specifies the maximum height of the
window.
ACTIVEPLAY Only play animations while the window is active. When
inactive swfplayer goes to sleep.
Some examples:
swfplayer amigarules.swf
swfplayer amigarules.swf PUBSCREEN ibrowse
swfplayer amigarules.swf PUBSCREEN ibrowse MAXWIDTH 640 MAXHEIGHT 480
Notes:
o The sound support is incomplete.
o With <256 colours swfplayer doesn't produce very pretty output, 16 and 24
bit modes are far better.
o Big ShockWave files play pretty slowly, even on a 68060.
o You'll have to download the .swf files manually because IBrowse doesn't
support embedded plugins yet.
Usually the best way to do this is to view the HTML source of a page
which uses ShockWave and look for a line like this:
<EMBED SRC="shockwave.swf" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash">
Replace the URL of the webpage with the name specified by "SRC=". e.g.
http://mysite.com/shock.html
would become:
http://mysite.com/shockwave.swf
IBrowse should then ask you what to do with the file, you can either
download to disk, or if an external viewer is setup IBrowse will download
the file and setup.
o Adding swfplayer as an external viewer in your browser:
IBROWSE
Under preferences -> General -> Ext. Viewer add the following:
Type application/x-shockwave-flash
Mime swf
Action Ext. Viewer
Viewer [path to swfplayer]/swfplayer
Arguments %f
You may wish to include additional parameters in the arguments section.
It may also be an idea to add a ">nil:" because swfplayer sometimes
outputs debug information if it can't play the file 100%.
o There's a few sample swf files included you to try. Here's some others
