One criticism that has been levelled against Runtime Revolution is that it seems to provide no way of making non-rectangular buttons.
Of course one can make PGN and GIF images with transparent areas; but this doesn't really help if one wants to make (for instance) an interactive piece with adjacent, odd-shaped objects. Many years ago my boys had a Dorling-Kindersly CD with a map of the world, and, infantile chap that I am, I spent hours clicking extremely near to the boundaries of the respective borders of countries on the map: and, guess what, they were country-shaped buttons. That was in 1996 (!!!!!!), and the CD had been built with MacroMedia Authorware. Now, 12 years later, it might not be a bad idea if we could catch up with MacroMedia (well, at least in this respect) and find a way to produce odd-shaped buttons . . . Thoughts, Solutions (um?), Ideas . . . sincerely, Richmond Mathewson. ____________________________________________________________ A Thorn in the flesh is better than a failed Systems Development Life Cycle. ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
