Before users can see FutureSplash Player animations on you web pages, the FutureSplash Player must be installed. For Internet Explorer 3.0 using ActiveX, installation is automatic using the CABBASE parameter in the OBJECT tag. For Netscape Navigator or, users must download the Netscape plug-in. We have developed a set of web pages that use JavaScript to assist the user with the installation of the plug-in. These pages work fine with any browser but also take advantage of new features in Netscape Navigator 3.0 that make the process easier. Netscape Navigator 4.0 will have much simpler installation of the player.
For most sites, we recommend that you simply link to http://www.futurewave.com/downloadfs.htm to download and install the FutureSplash Player plug-in. If you have a high traffic site and are a sophisticated web developer, the FutureSplash Animator license agreement allows you to place the FutureSplash Player plug-ins on your own server for your users to download.
If you want to work from our assisted installation HTML and JavaScript code when setting up the plug-in installation, you can download the complete set of files below. Before using these files, you should have a good understanding of JavaScript and the needs of the different browsers that you will support on your web site.
Download the FutureSplash setup files in .zip or .sit format.
