Title:

94. better browser launch

Date:

18 June 1997
Type Of Suggestion: AMT

Description:

the "appleCD player" has one-click access to URLs-- there is no need to make sure the client is launched first. after the first time, the player remembers which browser is preferred.

having to launch the browser first, then pass a URL to it is an unsatisfactory option...


Title:

93. To much commands

Date:

24 march 1997
Type Of Suggestion: AMT

Description:

Split up the commands in several. popup menus, also try to use hierachical popupmenus. Some commands could be removed. Stop All. If you take [Suggestion 92] and you add an attribute "All" CheckBox to the stop command. You don't need it, this could also be used for other commands, hide all, show all, start all.


Title:

92. Floating Palettes for setting attributes.

Date:

24 march 1997
Type Of Suggestion: AMT

Description:

When you want to set attributes of objects, commands you have to double click... It should be easier when you could have a floating palette just like in all latest applications (FreeHand, PhotoShop, PageMill, Home Page) to set these attributes. Also above you have tabs, so some not so common options could be hidden. This also allows to have more options, for example what some AMT PE users request is allowing to change the base class of that object or behaviour directly in AMT. So when they export and add their sources it all work without many changes...

Also when you select several objects only the attributes that they have in common are allowed to change


Title:

91. AMT Out of memory problem

Date:

24 march 1997
Type Of Suggestion: AMT

Description:

A lot of users can't find (know) the control -key trick to increase the memory of the AMT appliation. Correct this:

1. Show a text in the startup dialog that pressing control....

2. Add this option also in the preferences dialog.

90. Direct Text Entry

Date:

24 march 1997

88. Zoom Tool

Date:

21 march 1997
Type Of Suggestion: AMT

Description:

A zoom tool like in graphic applications. If I am adding hot spots to very small areas, as in the case of geographic maps, it would be great to be able to zoom in and define the area and the zoom out to a normal scale


Title:

87. Map Window with perspective

Date:

21 march 1997

86. Popup menus

Similar to what Oracle Media Object has--a cross platform popup system.


Title:

85. Better Windows documentation

Date:

18 November 1996
Type Of Suggestion: AMT PE

Description:

As all the Apple products, AMT hs a superb documentation, for one exception...

the AMT/PE (windows part). I belive that most mac developers are not pc experts, nor

must know what version of C to buy , how to install, operate, compile an app, etc...

I think that PE is excellent but need a good documentation effort to allow more

users to get into it.


Title:

84. Seeking into Text

Date:

5 November 1996
Type Of Suggestion: AMT Framework

Description:

I wish I could search for words in a RTF Text. But for the moment, there is no way to get the text of a text handler object to analyse it, all you can only reach a handle adress. It could be usefull and could be a first step to the AMTPE database...


Title:

83. Sprites over QuickTime

Date:

3 November 1996
Type Of Suggestion: AMT Framework

Description:

One big argument for director is, that the framework is able to handle sprites over running QT movies.

I would like to see flipbooks over running movies under AMT. We could then think of the subject in a dynamic environment. Today only a movement in a static environment can be done properly in AMT without lots of programming and/or media management.

26 October 1996
Type Of Suggestion: AMT

I'd like to have a event like 'on mouse out hot spot'

Add the ability to group sets of objects on the same screen. The group of objects can then be enabled/disabled, shown/hide, as a group rather than as individual objects.
