Animator 2Ds List of Keywords


MAF File
This is the animator file of MicroAVS1.0 and 1.1. The number of frames was limit ed to 20. This file can be read in in this version also but the path should be converted to absolute path a s the keyword $XP_PATH<0> cannot be used. The file type of the animation file in version 2.0 i s HTML.
Frame
In MicroAVS, each image comprising an animation sequence is called a frame. A f rame is saved as a GIF file and the names of the files are given in the order that the frames are displayed when the animation is played back as T1.gif, T2.gif...TN.gif. This rule cannot be changed.
Animation Project
This refers to the directory containing the group of files required for a given animation. These include frames, sound, Java applets and the HTML files made up of these. The sound files are optional.
HTML
This is an abbreviation for hypertext mark-up language. This is mainly used to d escribe Web pages. Recently, this is being used in online help. The MicroAVS online help also uses this format.
Java
This is a computer language developed by Sun Microsystems. This is a simple obje ct-oriented language which is predicted to be the language of the next generation. A program written in Java is guaranteed to produce the same output when run on any platform that supports Java. Another important feature of this language is the creation of the Java applet which can be included in any Web page.
Java applet
A program that can be run in a Web page. This program is created using the Java language. MicroAVS 2D Plus can save an animation in the form of a HTML file that includes a Java applet. If there is a Java- compatible browser, this animation can be viewed without starting up MicroAVS. If there is a JIT compatible browser, a higher performance can be expected. We have checked that this works on Netscape Navigator 3.0 and Internet Explorer 3.0 at the time of release.
JIT
This refers to the Just In Time compiler. Java is basically an interpreter but the execution speed is greatly increased by using JIT. JIT is supported by IE3.0.The Animator 2D plus applet recommends JIT.
