The elements of interest in this book are (in order of appearance):
1. The full screen application behavior was automatically added to the book script by using Auto-Script (look under "viewers").
2. The "last update" field on page 1 updates itself whenever the book is saved. The code is in the book script "save" and "saveas" handlers.
3. The menu buttons on page 2 (menu page) will automatically update themselves to match the pages. If a page is renamed, added or removed, the buttons will update themselves to reflect the new structure. The code is in the group script.
4. The "loop" button will automatically navigate through the book, flipping pages once every 15 seconds. This is accomplished by using a timer. A timer is also used to control the spinning cursor.
5. The navigation buttons are enabled and disabled by a script that was automatically added by using the Auto-Script feature. The actual navigation is performed by the new hyperlink functionality. Once again, it is all automatic.
6. The stage on the content pages uses a script based on mmNotify to automatically repeat the clip. The stage will automatically play the clip specified by the "whatClip" property of the page on enter page.on enter page..age.

All of the components of this application were produced with products from Asymetrix.
The background bitmap and the navigation buttons were rendered in 3DF/X. The scene was rendered three times; once without buttons, once with the buttons floating above the background and once with the buttons placed near the background surface. The buttons were then carefully cropped to produce the button graphics you see here.
The videos were also produced by 3DF/X. The aircraft are standard models that ship with the product.
Digital Video Producer (DVP) and PalEdit were used to create a common palette from the bitmaps and videos.
DVP was also used to adjust the video compression options to be better suited to playback from a CD..
