Stardust™ AutoPlay Engine™ 1.4 makes it easy to add AutoPlay technology to your data CD and DVD products.
You've developed your product and now you realize you need AutoPlay support to
get the Windows Logo. Part of that means including an AutoPlay
"teaser" application. What will you do? You could throw one together at
the last moment. Are you aware of all the technical issues? Will it work? Virtually
every Windows user will experience your AutoPlay "teaser" immediately
after inserting your data CD or DVD into the drive. It had better work.
Is it going to be as good as the competition? For a really great first impression,
you'll need to include sounds and animated hotspots. That means even more development
and debugging. You've done enough already.
Let Stardust AutoPlay Engine come to the rescue. It allows you to create your AutoPlay
"teaser" application in just a few easy steps.
Best of all, you can distribute our AutoPlay run-time royalty free, and you can use the
toolkit to create "teaser" applications for all of your products without
any extra costs.
Some of the key features in Stardust™ AutoPlay Engine™ 1.4:
-
Designed for Windows - The runtime is a Win32 application designed
specifically for all versions of Windows.
-
Small and Fast - The runtime is written in tight "C++" code
to minimize size and maximize loading speed. The executable is about 55K and
requires no non-operating-system DLLs.
-
Totally Customizable Look-And-Feel - Gives you the ability to use your own
graphics, sounds, and animated hotspots, allowing you to design your AutoPlay
"teaser" with the look you want.
-
Multimedia Sounds and Animated Hotspots - Add sounds that play during
specific events, and animated hotspots that change when the mouse moves over them.
-
Open Documents From a Hotspot - Open text files, Word™ documents and
Excel™ spreadsheets, sound and video files, and any other document types supported
by Windows, without having to specify an executable.
-
Link a Hotspot to a Web Site - Go to the web site of your choice when the
user clicks a hotspot.
-
No Programming Required - No complex code or scripts. Just create the
graphic files, then define the hotspots and their behavior in an INI
file.
-
Affordable License - The included license covers all of your products that
you may wish to include an AutoPlay teaser application with. You do not have to
purchase separate licenses for each product.
-
Royalty-Free Runtime - No royalties are required to distribute the runtime
software with your application. Just purchase a copy of AutoPlay Engine and that's it.
