Hello Joseph,
I think Hollywood presentations compile down directly to binary so there's no need for an external player. Just compile and execute.

Hello Joseph,
I think Hollywood presentations compile down directly to binary so there's no need for an external player. Just compile and execute.
When i compile as an applet i get the following message "Information: Hollywood has created an applet. You can run this applet with the Hollywood Player (Freeware) or with the full version of Hollywood!"
In the Hollywood doc i also find these clarifications;
Code: Select all
- New: Introducing Hollywood applets! You can compile your scripts into applets
now by using EXETYPE=APPLET. Hollywood applets can be started by Hollywood
or the freely available HollywoodPlayer which is a special version of Hollywood
that can run applets only! Applets are platform independent, all versions of
Hollywood/HollywoodPlayer can run your applets no matter on which platform
they were compiled
and the following execute option
Code: Select all
-exetype <type>:
* Only required in connection with -compile. This argument specifies the
output format of the executable that the Hollywood compiler shall create.
This can be "classic" for AmigaOS3 68k executables, "amigaos4" for AmigaOS4
PPC ELF binaries, "warpos" for WarpOS mixed-binary executables, "morphos"
for native MorphOS ELF-binaries, "aros" for i386 native AROS binaries,
"macos" for Mac OS PPC binaries, "macos86" for Mac OS i386 binaries,
"win32" for a 32-bit Windows binary, or "applet" for a universal Hollywood
applet binary which can be started on all systems with a Hollywood player.
Applets seem to me the preferrred way to go, since they are platform independent and smaller (as advertised elsewhere) Only thing: i don't find the free platformdependent players.
Where can i find them?

On my hard disk
Seriously: The freeware players are not ready yet. I still need to think about some things before releasing them (although they're basically ready). So currently, you'll need to compile full executables. I hope to get the freeware players out with the next Hollywood version.
