Thanks. I'm a teacher learning to build games for my students. How do you get to the application properties?

[Jeff]

Click on your application in the workspace toolbar

Then the properties window will populate with the applications properties.

Thanks, Jeff. I was able to make a vitalize application.
I just uploaded it to screencast.com, a location I just subscribed to for storing files I want certain viewers to be able to access online.

The name of the file is listed with a download option, and a notice: "unable to embed this type of file." How do I make it embed?

When you build a CCN, it should have an HTML document generated with the same name - this file shows you how to embed the application in a webpage. I'm not quite sure how Screencast works, if you're ever given a direct link to the files that you upload or not, but it seems that it has its own players for files that it recognizes - for ones that it doesn't, you need to upload that HTML document somewhere and point it to the CCN.

[Jeff]

Vitalize applications do not build an HTML file like Java and Flash does from MMF.

I would doubt screencast has the correct mime type set of CCN file.
You would need to see if they can add it for you or if you have the ability to add your own mime types.

I am able to locate the vitalize file created on my computer,
and I do see a 001 file by the same name with .001 added to the end of the name. Is that the html file? I also see .001 files for MFA files that I haven't yet built into vitalize files.

Jeff, I just saw your response about vitalize files not building html files and about screencast not having the correct mime typeset of the CCN file.

What about pbworks or wordpress? I have a site both places which is really where I would like to put the games. What would I need to do to embed them in those locations?

First of all you need to generate the HTML code for your vitalize app, you can do that with my V-Code Generator. (The first post in the thread links has more information)

Second, you need to set the MIME for CCN files to "application/x-cnc". If you can't set MIME types, then find a server that uses PHP and write a php script like this:

<?php
    header('Content-type: application/x-cnc');
    echo(file_get_contents($_GET['CCN']));
?>

Then you can use the PHP script as the URL for your application like this:

http://www.MySite.com/Vitalize.php?CCN=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.MySite.com%2FMyVitalizeGame.ccn

Making sure that the URL you give the script is encoded.

My anti-virus prevented download and displayed a message that it contained a Trojan OAF after I clicked your the link your first V-Code Generator link took me to.
