Introducing Allegiant Roadster, the high-performance plug-in for the World Wide Web. Based on Allegiant Technologies' award-winning SuperCard authoring tool, Roadster is the most flexible and powerful plug-in for delivering true interactive multimedia applications within popular Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Roadster is the first Web plug-in that lets you script interactivity across the Internet. By supporting external data -- graphics, text, sound, animations
and QuickTime movies -- and giving you complete control over preloading and caching your content, Roadster gives you maximum road feel on the"Information Highway."
Author for the Web with SuperCard
Authoring for Roadster begins with SuperCard -- simply the most powerful multimedia authoring environment for creating custom applications. MacUser Magazine's 1995 Editors' Choice for "Best New Multimedia Authoring Application," SuperCard is used worldwide for computer-based training and education, multimedia content titles, custom applications and software development. At the heart of SuperCard is a powerful scripting language called SuperTalk. An enhanced version of the industry-standard HyperTalk language, SuperTalk gives you complete control over all the components of multimedia content, application development and interactivity. With simple, English-like syntax and extensive on-line help, SuperTalk is fast, efficient, and easy to learn.
Maximize Internet Bandwidth with New Streaming Technology
Roadster includes full support for SuperCard's popular multimedia, graphics and text formats, including support for external media. But rather than force your viewer to download a large, canned animation, Roadster lets you provide a simple start-up interface and immediately begin streaming in additional data as bandwidth allows. Your viewers on the Web can have a much richer experience with less waiting and less wasted bandwidth.
To deliver content for Roadster, you work with the same media content and scripts that you use for delivering "desktop" multimedia or custom applications in SuperCard. If you'veve ever used a graphics application and are one of the millions of people who know how to script, you can rapidly design, debug and deliver interactive applications for the Internet or Intranet.
"One-Stop" Internet Development without Java
Because Roadster supports a full multimedia application development environment, you can deliver complete applications within a single plug-in. There is no need to mix-and-match other plug-ins or wire together complex HTML and JavaScript. Roadster can deliver many applications that otherwise would have to be done in Java at far greater time and expense.
