You gotta hand it to David Pfeiffer.
He just keeps getting better and better. In an ever increasing
effort to bring well-behaved Java applets to the masses, David has
released the FrontLook,
Series 3 -- a continuation of his popular series of
FrontPage add-in tools that enables A-N-Y-O-N-E to add slick
multimedia effects to their web sites with a few strokes of the
keyboard.
As anyone who has tried their hand at
integrating fancy Java applets into their web site can tell you,
it's not necessarily the easiest thing in the world to do if you are
not a Java developer by nature. There's so many ways to hose your
web page and a visitor's browser.
FrontLook,
Series 3 continues in the footsteps of its predecessors
by enabling even the novice webmaster to add slick multimedia
effects to their web site including Presentation/Slide Shows and
unique Scrolling Messages.
The Presentation/Slide Show applet is
extremely flexible and powerful, allowing the webmaster to customize
it in multiple ways. It includes 30 transition effects (wipes for
you Powerpoint fans), hypertext linking, status bar messages in the
bottom of your browser, and a variety of sound triggers. Just about
anything you can do with Powerpoint can now be done online quickly
and effectively with FrontLook,
Series 3.
The Scroller applet is equally unique
by allowing you to create single and multi-column scrolling text
(neat trick!). You can change the color of the text, link the
scrolling text to web pages, even pause the applet or add sound
effects. It's a very complete applet, covering just about any
combination of custom effects one can imagine.
While these applets are very powerful
and flexible, it should be noted they are equally easy to use and
integrate into your web site. That's what makes FrontLook,
Series 3 so special. It makes the tough stuff --
simple. Just click on a drop down menu, click on a tab, enter your
text, load your graphics, set the links, timing and sound effects,
and you're done quickly and easily. I wish all JavaScripts were this
"push button" easy to implement.
As usual, DPA Software over-delivers
by including 30 new business and personal themes for FrontPage, 90
audio files for your applets, and 300 professionally designed pieces
of clip art ranging from buttons and banners to backgrounds and
separator elements. It's all there. And it's all only $39.95 -- or
if you're a previous owner of their other FrontLook tools -- it's
only $29.95!
