| WEBXTRA: | FEATURES |
Here are some of the features that make WebXtra the ideal tool for incorporating a web browser inside a multimedia application. For a complete list of Properties and Functions, go to WebXtra Online Help.
| Browser Functions |
With WebXtra you can have all the functions of a browser: go back, go forward, go home, go search, stop, refresh, and others. | |||
| Content Control |
Allows the creation of customized browsers that filter the destination URL's and block access to unauthorized sites and files. | |||
| Browser Window Customization |
WebXtra makes it possible to disable the right-mouse click context menu and scrollbars in the main browser window. Developers can also customize the ability to spawn new browser windows to allow greater control over navigation. | |||
| New Event Model |
Introduced in WebXtra 4 is a new event model that implements true communication between the internal browser operations and your Lingo or JavaScript syntax scripts. This powerful addition can be used to trigger scripting events directly when a user clicks on a link in the web page, to display customized error messages, to intercept file download requests and much more. | |||
| Direct Access to HTML |
WebXtra 4 includes the ability to get and set the html property of browser sprites. This can be used to retrieve the html source for pages loaded in the browser directly, and also allows developer to display their own HTML pages directly from Lingo or JavaScript syntax. | |||
| Imaging Lingo Support | The image of sprite property is a new addition in WebXtra 4, and allows developers to retrieve the image of the browser window directly, to be used for example to create a visual representation of bookmarks, or a visual catalog of visited pages. | |||
| Cross-Platform Authoring Support | WebXtra sprites do not spawn a working web browser on the Macintosh: the Xtra is only fully functional on Windows. However, Macintosh versions of the Xtra are provided as stubs to help users that must author cross-platform movies on the Mac platform, or need to work in both platforms with the same set of files and cast libraries, without any error messages. With these stub Xtras it is perfectly possible to write a complete application using WebXtra on the Mac and cross publish it for Windows using Director MX 2004 and Director 11. | |||
