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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
