Rocky Mountain Multimedia is proud to announce the beta release of Level 3 of the VERY popular Web Kiosk Commander software is available online NOW.
The software and documentation is available online at the Rocky Mountain Multimedia website at
http://www.rockmedia.com/multimedia/webkiosk.html.
New Level 3 features of the Web Kiosk Commander include:
* FREE UPGRADE for all Level 2 users (as usual!)
* Support for Netscape Communicator 4.0+ and Internet Explorer 4.0+.
* Create Multimedia Presentations and Attraction Loops with the Media Player. Define a background graphic, an optional soundtrack, and play either a video or a series of graphic pictures. Cool transitions and special effects makes this new feature HOT!
* Create Banner Adswith special effects and hyperlinks. Turn the top component of the Web Kiosk Commander into a round-robin promotional tool.
* "Under DDE Control" Operation Mode lets you control the Web Kiosk Commander via DDE using your own executable. Use your Director, Visual Basic, C++, Toolbook II (etc.) application to command and control the WKC! When the WKC is not in use, it hides itself and the browser back on the Task Bar. Slick!
* "On Task Bar" Operation Mode lets you run the Web Kiosk Commander on the Task Bar - always out of sight! Now run Nav or IE in kiosk mode yet still control downloads, URL access, and e-mail via the WKC.
* Use HTML to Control the Web Kiosk Commander. Have hyperlinks change Button Bars, run a local multimedia presentation using the Media Player, even dial a telephone number!
* Support for GIF and JPG Files in Addition to BMP.
* URL Generation via User Query. Ask users questions then load a new URL based upon their input.
* Attract Mode Termination on URL Mouse Events.
* Optional Button Bar Soundtrack.
* Upgrade to Visual Basic 5.0.

* Run it as a stand-alone application, a hidden application on the Task Bar, or as a puppet application controlled by your application via DDE.
* Completely replace the browser interface with a user-friendly, customized graphical interface.
* Define "banner ad graphics" that intermittently change across the top of the application.These graphics can be hyperlinked to disk-based or Internet / Intranet URLs.
* Create "multimedia records" that contain pictures, sound and/or video, and use these records in an attraction loop or assign a record to a button.
* Define an unlimited number of 3-D on-screen buttons and graphics to customize your application. These buttons can appear to the left, right, above or below the browser window.

* Define an unlimited number of button bars that contain multiple buttons.
