Once the FutureSplash Player is installed, it works automatically but there are several advanced features that users can take advantage of.
To use a FutureSplash Player button, simply click on a button. The designer
of a FutureSplash Player graphic controls the action of a button. Buttons
can perform various actions such as starting or stopping an animation and
loading a new page into the browser. The designer of a button controls
the feedback that a button provides. Note how the cursor changes to a hand
when the mouse is over a button.
For buttons that open a new page, you can see the name of the page in the
Netscape status bar at the bottom of the window.
FutureSplash Player has a pop-up menu that allows you to take advantage of its advanced features. Windows users simply click on a FutureSplash Player graphic with the right mouse button to activate the menu. Macintosh users hold down the Command key and click with the mouse to activate the menu. The action menu commands include Zoom, Play, Forward, Back and About FutureSplash Player.
One of FutureSplash Player's most powerful features is the ability to
zoom in on a portion of a graphic without the loss of any detail. To zoom,
simply choose the Zoom In or Zoom Out command from the action menu. The
Show All command will reset the view to show the entire graphic. When you
are zoomed in on a graphic, the cursor will change to a hand
that
can be used for scrolling. Simply hold down on the mouse button and push
the graphic to move the view. The view will redraw when you release the
mouse or when you pause. Note that buttons are still active so click in
the space between buttons for moving around.
