a Flash .SWF file when loaded into a QT device does not show up in the preview but does show up in the full screen mode.

I did get it to finally show up but I started clicking around and then it came up one,,, then would not come up again....

Viewing Movies that have Flash Content

Some QuickTime movies contain a Flash track . To enable these movies to play properly you must turn on support for Flash within QuickTime.
To enable Flash playback in QuickTime movies (in Windows):

1 Choose Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences.
2 Choose Advanced.
3 Select "Enable Flash."

think they dropped it in 7.4.1

tim will probably move to html based pages- i just fixed something in samsc-

catalyst web pages work-

there is a also kiosk mode in opera browser-

http://www.opera.com/support/mastering/kiosk/

source for a simple html file to make a web page in samsc looks something like this-
Catalyst is different- i added a different and easier way of doing this-.

the same thing in catalyst is:


<p>Catalyst is slightly different and more compatible with the way html forms work.</p>
<p>There are different ways to use the form submit action to run a cue list cue. </p>
<form action="http://localhost:8080/commands/?" method=get>
<input type=submit name="FindPlayShowCue" value="10">
</form>


<form action="http://localhost:8080/commands/?sleepcomputer" method=get>
<input type=submit name="sleepcomputer" value="sleep computer">
</form>

<p>Or from a link: </p>
<p><a href="http://localhost:8080/commands/?FindPlayShowCue=10">Cue 10</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Replace localhost by the address of the computer running catalyst.

Replace localhost by the address of the computer running catalyst.

it's better to use bonjour name instead the actual address, this allow you to use DHCP . [edit] Only if you are using Mac to Mac

yes but only if you are running on a mac only network.
bonjour names are confusing to other people.

im not sure how bonjour names would work then.

Once I have the HTML file built and the hot spots in the image applied this works great,, minus the cool motions stuff you can do in FLASH...
I have yet to get the KIOSK mode in opera working but full screen does work. the control system I use is in 10.3.9 (not up to date because i need stability for that system). Now that i have moved over to opera and kiosk mode I will update my show control computer...

I have provided a list of goodies that Catalyst can not do but you can do in SAMSC.. Richard is trying to get Catalyst where SAMSC features are 1 to 1 in catalyst. This will be great because I so need t move into Catalyst for SHOW CONTROL..

you can probably embed flash in your html files?
I dont think this got removed?

You can do those animated gif's or run javascript animations-

there are lots of cool things you can do with javascript embedded in a webpage:

This software does a good web based kiosk mode.

Im going to try using it on a show myself:

wKiosk-

does most of the right things- disables most user interactions.
