THE AMIGAVISION PLAYER: AVPLAYER AmigaVision Professional contains a freely redistributable player program called AVPlayer. AVPlayer is a version of AmigaVision Professional without the Flow Editor. It allows you to playback flows created in AmigaVision Professional or AmigaVision 1.7. The only files on the AV_Player diskette that are freely redistributable are: 1) AVPlayer, 2) AVPlayer.info, 3) AVPlayer.doc, 4) AVPlayer.doc.info, 5) avdb.library, 6) avtextgad.library, 7) camd.library, 8) realtime.library, 9) and the video driver files found in the devs: directory. Do not redistribute any other files on this diskette. If there are other files on this diskette that you would like to redistribute, you must first contact CATS, 1200 Wilson Drive, West Chester, PA 19380, USA. USING AVPLAYER To use the AmigaVision player program, enter the following from the AmigaDOS CLI: AVPlayer [-sXXXXX] The first parameter, the AmigaVision file to be presented, should contain the file's complete path, and the .AVf extension. For example: AVPlayer df0:examples/Quiz.avf The second optional parameter overrides the default stack size. When the AVPlayer is started, it sets a default stack size of 20K. To override this stack size, specify the "-s" parameter followed by a number which represents the new stack size. For example: AVPlayer df0:examples/Quiz.avf -s10000 will cause the AVPlayer to set a stack size of 10K. Before the AVPlayer creates its stack, it will check the system stack. If the system stack is the larger than the stack that AVPlayer wants to create, a new stack will not be created, the system stack will be used instead. If the system stack is smaller than the one that AVPlayer wants to create, a second stack will be created for the AVPlayer. This version of the AmigaVision player cannot be run from Workbench. This version of the player has been divided into three portions: AVPlayer : the main executable, and avdb.library : a library containing all AV's database functionality, avtextgad.library : a library containing all AV's input field form functionality. The optional libraries are needed only if the flow contains icons from the Data submenu. They are intended to be placed in the Libs: directory or in the same directory as AVPlayer. As they are specific to AmigaVision, we recommend that they be stored with the executable. Camd.library and realtime.library are necessary if you plan to play MIDI files with AmigaVision. ======================================================================= Error Requester Codes 1007 Amiga is low on memory; Please free some and try again. 1010 Screen resolution and interlace settings of consecutive pictures must be the same to perform specified transition.
