- MultiMedioids - How can it help you?
-
- Developed by TERRA SOFT at Glasgow University's Department of Hispanic
- Studies, MultiMedioids helps you to create multimedia presentations and
- training packages rapidly. With MultiMedioids running on top of Hypercard
- you construct sequences of multimedia presentations (called "medioids")
- using the "click, point and drag" philosophy. It requires no knowledge of
- programming and reduces development time for quality multimedia
- considerably.
-
- MultiMedioids offers you a number of flexible features to enliven your
- Hypercard environment:
-
- **Colour text**
- MultiMedioids enables you to create colour text windows and position them
- anywhere around the screen.
-
- **Sound files**
- Play sound files and snd resources directly from your medioids. Record
- your own sound files with MultiMedioids.
-
- **Pictures**
- The program lets you display full colour PICT files or resources with ease.
- Position pictures easily on the screen by clicking and dragging them.
-
- **QuickTime Movies**
- Play QuickTime movies by selecting parameters from a simple pull-down menu.
- Multimedioids handles everything else.
-
- **Keyboard and Microphone Responses**
- You can make multimedia truly interactive by including user responses from
- the keyboard and microphone within your medioids. These responses can be
- placed into a folder with the user's name and checked at a later stage
- using the ResMonitor program supplied with the package.
-
- **Replay Facility**
- Your user can replay any sequence of items in your medioid simply by
- clicking a button.
-
- **Hypertalk Scripts**
- If you already build your own Hypercard stacks, MultiMedioids will take the
- drudgery out of your scripting whenever you want to play a multimedia
- sequence. You simply call the medioid from the stack concerned. You
- can also incorporate Hypertalk handlers into your medioids should you want to
- create more elaborate ones.
-
- **Scan Facility**
- Avoid losing track of your multimedia resources with the MultiMedioids scan
- facility. Whenever you move your medioids, pictures, sound files etc. to a
- different folder or machine, MultiMedioids can automatically update their
- locations.
