AmigaVision player
4 messages in this thread
You had me running in a panic to my AmigaVision manual. I'm doing an
application as well for free distribution on disk.
On page 8 of the manual, there is a section called RunTime Module.
"Once you have complete a presentation or a course, the material can be
prepared for use by others with the RunTime feature. This feature helps you
to create the complete disks that you will distribute to the end users."
Wouldn't this be the same as the AmigaVision player you are asking about?
Rick, the 'Runtime' module only prepares the data for xfer to another disk,
system, etc. It does *not* contain the AV program at all.
The user of the disks you create with RunTime must own AV themselves in
order to run your application. (ie. it is not a 'player' program in any
real sense. Very misnamed, if you ask me)
RunTime seems very handy for relocating the graphic/sound objects
associated with a script, after you had finished development. You can do
the same thing easier by making sure you always load data via an 'assigned'
path, however. Makes moving things easy.

John,
There is a stand-alone "player" for AmigaVision flows. But it must be
licensed from Commodore; unfortunately it's not freely-distributable.

Right Denny; I was just answering the original question…. whether the
'RunTime' module in AV was a stand-alone player, which it is not. There's
been lots of talk of the 'licensable' player from Commodore…. hope they
change their mind and make it freely-distributable too.
