This file contains information that was not available
at the time the MediaBlitz documentation went to press.
Reuse and redistribution of clip media
=======================================
Remember, you are not authorized to use the MediBlitz
sound files for broadcast or public performance. Also,
all MediaBlitz files are subject to the Asymetrix MediaBlitz
License Agreement, even if you have modified them or used
them to add to or create new files.
Error when using Windows 3.0
=============================
If you are running MediaBlitz under Windows 3.0 and opening
and closing ToolBook applications that do a restore system
in the enterbook handler without forwarding the enterbook
message, you may receive an Unrecoverable Application Error.
This will not occur if you are using Windows 3.1.
Event synchronization with .MMM and .AWM files
================================================
If you have created a score with MacroMind Director or
Gold Disk Animation Works files, make sure that other clips
in the score begin playing before the animation file plays
or after the animation file has finished playing. MediaBlitz
does not receive its timer event messages when either of these
file types are playing.
Palette for 256-color bitmaps
==============================
If you are combining 256-color bitmaps with the 256-color
bitmaps shipped with MediaBlitz, you may want to apply the
ASYM5.PAL palette file to each of your bitmaps to prevent
palette conflicts. All 256-color bitmaps included with
MediaBlitz use this palette. For more information regarding
color and bitmaps see the card titled "Bitmaps in Sample
Scores" included in this package.
Slower computers
=================
If you are playing very complex scores with overlapping clips
and files on a machine at or near the minimum requirements for
MediaBlitz while in ScoreMaker, the timeline ticker may
continue to move after the last item in the score has played.
Press Esc to stop the ticker.
One score limit
================
You can only play one clip or score at a time in MediaBlitz and
Multimedia ToolBook. To stop a clip or score before it plays to
the end, press Esc. When you launch a score while another score
is playing, the first score will terminate in it's current position
and the new score will start.
Changes to environment files made by MediaBlitz setup
======================================================
Changes to your AUTOEXEC.BAT:
During Setup, MediaBlitz adds the MediaBlitz directory, the
Runtime ToolBook directory, and the ToolBook multimedia
extensions directory to the front of your path statement.
Changes to your WIN.INI:
If you did not have a previous version of TBOOK or ToolBook
installed, MediaBlitz adds the ToolBook file extension,
TBK=TBOOK.EXE ^.TBK to the [Extensions] section of your
WIN.INI.
If you install the version of TBOOK that comes with
MediaBlitz and have a previous association for the .TBK
extension in your WIN.INI, the setup program will give
you the choice of changing the file association to
reference this version of TBOOK.
Setup will add the file associations (FLI and FLC) for
the Autodesk Animator driver to the [MCI Extesions] section
of WIN.INI. You can install this driver from Disk 1 of
MediaBlitz installation set using the Windows Control Panel.
Additional environment files
=============================
MediaBlitz adds two .INI files during setup. ASYM.INI points to
common files used by Asymetrix applications. MDIABLTZ.INI
stores the paths to each MediaBlitz application and the values
defined in the MediaBlitz Preferences dialog box.
