how do i configure the revolution player so another user on a different computer can play the stack?

on my computer i have to find the stack and in my documents and open it, even though i've already dragged and dropped it onto the player icon.

another user won't be able to do that.

rushvan,

Which operating system are you using? Which version of Revolution?

What happens if you double-click a stack in the Finder/Explorer?

I think that the Player is rather old now. The latest version is 2.7.1, while Revolution is at 2.8.1 already and 2.9 is in beta stage. The Player might just not work and in that case I'd contact support.

Best,

Mark

thanx for the reply. i use windows 2000. i'm using 2.7. i get the stck to run just fine by clicking exploerer but i want the plyer to be stand alone for another user so when he/she clicks the playerso that's all they have to do to start playing the project i'm developing.

Dear rushvan.

What exactly happens if you double-click the stack in Explorer?

Best,

Mark

Another user on a different computer just needs the player installed, and your stack. Everything should run fine in that case, as that is exactly what the player is made for.

thanx everybody. bvg how do i make sure the other user receives my project?

projects in rev are stored as stacks (they have a .rev suffix) everyone who does want to use your project, needs all files that your project uses. Rev files can easily be transported like any other file, via e-mail, usb stick, or burned onto cd's.
Of course that Person also needs a way to run your stacks, that is why they need the Player or their own RunRev installation.

An alternative is to make a standalone out of your project, which is the same as an executable program containing all relevant stacks. However that process is not the easiest part in RunRev.
