The Java Effects Components use several common panels and Dialogs as illustrated below:
 | Sound File Dialog |
| Image File Dialog |
OK and Cancel buttons for each of the following panels or dialogs will not be specified.
Sound File Dialog
The Sound File dialog enables the selection of a Java .au
sound file for playback.
Sound File Dialog
Sound File - A list of the standard sounds available in the frontlook master and users directories.
Sound File Playback controls - The sound playback controls; Play and Stop.
Add File from Web... - Brings up a web browse dialog so that new audio files can be added to the FrontLook users directory. Once added, the files will appear in the file list.
Add File from Disk... - Brings up a file browse dialog so that new audio files can be added to the FrontLook users directory. Once added, the files will appear in the file list.
No Audio - Sets the sound to None.
Image File Dialog
The Image File dialog enables the selection of a .jpg and
.gif image files.
Image File Dialog
Image File - A list of the standard images available in the FrontLook master and users directories. "No Image" item will set the image to None.
Image File Preview / Checkbox - Check Preview to see the preview of the selected image.
Add File from Web... - Brings up a web browse dialog so that new image files can be added to the FrontLook users directory. Once added, the files will appear in the file list.
Add File from Disk... - Brings up a file browse dialog so that new image files can be added to the FrontLook users directory. Once added, the files will appear in the file list.
No Image - Sets the image to None.
Image and Audio File Management - The image and audio files
available in the list are typically located in the following directories:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\bots\FLWebbot\_frontlook" and
"C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\DPA Software\FrontLook\_frontlook"
where <user> is the currently logged on user. The Office installation path
and the Application Data path may vary for each machine and OS. When you use
the "Add from..." buttons on the dialog, the newly added files are copied to the
Application Data _frontlook folder. If you would like to remove or edit an
image or audio file from the list, you can do so from these directories. All
the files selected in the bot will be copied to the web into the _frontlook
directory in the same directory as that of the page that contains bot. This
makes the management of FrontPage webs simpler although it might waste
disk space if you have a copy of the files elsewhere on the web.
Audio files must be in the .au format. If you have a .wav file or other format, you will need to convert it to .au before adding to the list of audio files. A shareware product like Goldwave (http://www.goldwave.com/) can convert almost any audio file to the .au format (sometimes called the Sun/Java Web format).
