Re: Aftershock!!

[John Croteau]

Hi Stefan and all,


Aftershock is a very good tool (several uses).

   HTML Scripts for Flash, FlashJava and gifs (or whatever combination

needed).

   Create gifs (animated or static with image maps for buttons)

   Extract Text from swf files for search engine robots or other uses.


Flash Player Java Edition is the FlashJava player that plays Flash

without the need for a plug-in or ActiveX control.


Both Aftershock and FlashJava are downloaded as a single package at:

http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/download/main.cgi


Limitations for Flash Direction/Detection using Aftershock:

1) Requires JavaScript to work


2) If used with alternate content (gif/FlashJava), only provides Flash

to Browsers that can be Detected -  MSIE 3/4 Win95/NT and Netscape 3+

with JavaScript enabled.


3)Internet Explorer Mac - Because there is no plugins array on Internet

Explorer for the Mac, JavaScript and  VBScript cannot be used to detect

whether or not a plugin is installed. Therefore, if you set up

Aftershock to use another Media Type along with Shockwave Plugin, the

plugin will never be found and the browser will fall back to whatever

Media Type you have specified (Java or GIF.)


Flash capable Browsers which the Flash plug-in/ActiveX Control can not

be detected using JavaScript (and VBScript for MSIE 3/4 Win95/NT):

   Netscape 2

   MSIE 3/4 for Mac

   Opera 3.0

   WebTV 

   AOL 3.0 (IWENG versions)
