This allows you to create bitmap button only from one Image. The
button will have look and feel like Text Button but with a bitmap.
-Video Object has the option to load MPEG, VideoDisc or MOV -
using MCI - this saves some writing in script for MCI.
-OctaMed sound support (*.med). Thsi is the first from upomming mod
formats.
-OpenFile command and internal <File> added. This allows you to pop-up Open File dialog
For Example: OpenFile("MPEG files |*.mpg||","*.mpg")
Then you can use the <File> (the same way like you were using <SrcDir>). So for example for MCI you can use:
MCICommand("play <File>")
-VolumeUp and VolumeDown commands were added
-Custom Shape window: The B/W Mask option was added allowing you to create any shape even with holes
-The candy See Through was added. This will turn the background of
project transparent and then you can cast shadow on desktop or
make fully semitransparent window. However it has some limitation.
-Cover Windows taks bar in Full Screen background option.
Fix:
-The final fix for the 32 bit 1 pixel shift on 32 bit adapters
-Nasty bug crashing applications containing few mbd project
-<SrcDir>,<CD>, <File> for second parameter in Run command or Run program action.
-Random Generator each time you start app will have different seed.
-In ScriptTimer and ExitTimer you can use variable instead of time
-Return Key close the project
-Esc or Return stops the video

Master page and Master Top Layer
This is very important feature if you have project with many pages.
You donÆt 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.
