Thanks for the answer :-) ! Heard of revZip before, but have never used it ... Now if there was only a way to pump those locally stored resource files into the browser caches ... Because in web-based apps, those resource/image files are assumed to reside within the browser-caches when having been fe...

When I have internet aware Rev Apps that load many images dynamically from the internet, the following might be a good strategy to reduce server round trips: - Bundle images in ZIP archives on the server-side - Send the ZIP archives to the client-side (desktop or browser) via internet - Unpack those...

Hello Richie ! Generally speaking the topic says it all ... A little more fine-grained the app class of the future I want to build is: - Internet-aware/Web-enabled (Low Latency) Realtime Collaborative (Massive) Multi-User (Social) Apps containing (sophisticated, highly interactive) 3D/MultiMedia con...

One approach could be: Using XMPP/Jabber over HTTP (Bosh; http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0206.html); but I suppose that the RR Sockets could allow for a more powerful/scalable/reliable approach ... They are already there, whereas in the browser world, WebSockets have been specified in HTML 5, but ar...

What about pumping XML data into Rev Apps in realtime ?

Can one feed data in realtime easily into Rev based UIs ? Such that the UI reacts to data changes in realtime correspondingly ? And one does NOT have to develop a lot of plumbing to make that work ? This would allow for building the following class of Rev Apps: - Internet-Aware, Realtime Data Driven...

I have just skimmed through the latest revUp Newsletter and am quite pleased about the latest addition to the RR 3.5 product: - An enhanced data grid and table control ! Which allows the use of arbitrary formatting and controls in its fields ! So immediately this question arises: What about a decent...

Hello Kai, No, the windowshape is for the stack window, not for the movie only. However, you can create a new window to show just the movie on a nice window shape. I have tried out the 'stack windowshape technique'; with bringing the QT player object to the front; with this technique one can really...

Hi Mark ! Unfortunately I am not a very knowledgeable RR guy currently; so I ask this question without further ado: Until now I thought RR window shapes are for a whole app only; so if I have several skinned QT movies in one app and I want them all to be displayed as skinned, can I do that with wind...

When I want to embed a QT movie into a RR app, I use the 'Quick Time Player' widget; BUT: Skinned QT movies which use non-rectangular shapes are NOT displayed with their skin; they are displayed with a rectangular shape instead ... The capability to play back skinned QuickTime movies in all their gl...

I have just created the following feature request:
Native Support for calling/embedding Active X Objects
http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=6456

Please praise it; spread the word for it; and last but not least VOTE for it

All of a sudden - and with the advent of Revolution 2.9 - I am also very much interested in genuine ActiveX support ! One possibility is using the revBrowser plugin for embedding an ActiveX component - this should at least work on Windows where revBrowser is based on IE ... BUT: It would be great to...

I cannot hold my breath any longer :-) Today I have stumbled upon this: AIR API - Introduction to the SQLite Database: http://www.insideria.com/2008/03/air-api-introduction-to-the-sq.html What has Runtime Revolution in store when it comes to client-side database integration ? E.g. integration with S...

AFAIK there are 2 paths in the RR world to deliver content using the QT player: - Using a RR QT player object plus the Enhanced RR QT external for accessing the QT content; when JavaScript calls were still allowed from within QT content, could they be made in this QT player object scenario ? If yes,...

I have built a programmatic solution for installing the Axel QuickTime component in the interim; using RR's client-side registry and file system capabilities.

I will create a new thread for QuickTime/AxelEdge questions though !
