Master page and Master Top Layer This is very important feature if you have project with many pages. You don’t want to copy all the common objects to all pages, do you? Instead of this you can put the common objects to the Master Page or Master Top Layer. What is the difference? Master Page - will appear as a bottom layer on each page. The objects on the page will appear all the time on the top of the objects from Master Page. This is great to put your artwork here. Sure you can put also interactive objects here, but you must be sure other objects on pages will not cover them. Master Top Layer - will appear as a top layer on each page. The objects on the page will be behind the Master Top Layer objects. This is great for active objects like menus, buttons, windows, etc... CD Audio or Mixed-Mode CD support. This is for those who wish to write their own CD-ROM and have access to a recordable CD drive. In ver 1.3 each page can play different audio track from the CD. Great for the Mixed-mode custom CD - on track 1 you have your programs, mmb player and data and on other track you can put audio songs. Objects can play Tracks from CD Audio In the Sounds Actions you can write into the On Click box commands for CD Audio: CD:2 - will play second track CD:STOP - Stop Playing CD:PLAY - Play CD:PAUSE - Pause CD:FW - play next song CD:BW - play prev. song CD:PLP - Play/Pause You can easy create simple CD player now. (see CDAudio.mbd sample) Selection preview. If you are interested how the objects you selected look like - the Selection view is for you. To open/close selection view click on long button on the bottom part of Object List. In the preview you can see hidden objects, groups and much more. If you have heavy graphics and you think it is slowing down the designer - switch the preview off! (It goes into the groups etc... so it may slow down the designer a bit.) Stand Alone compiler is now part of the designer. In the Exteral Comands and page actions - The "Minimize" item was added.
