Portent
Interactive has released a beta version of the RealSystem Extension
for Adobe GoLive 5.0. The extension allows designers and developers
to embed the RealPlayer in their Web pages without working in
the HTML source. The tool also allows point-and-click configuration
of the RealPlayer control panel, custom graphical buttons and
player mode.
The
plugin, written using the Adobe GoLive Software Development Kit,
allows any GoLive 5.0 user to drag-and-drop an instance of the
RealPlayer to a Web page. Once placed, the player can be resized
and positioned using GoLive's visual layout tools. Web designers
can also select which RealPlayer controls appear on the screen.
In addition, designers can use their own artwork as stop, pause
and play controls for the player. The extension accepts all standard
Web graphics types, as well as GoLive SmartObjects.
The
GoLive Real extension is available now for free (Mac and Windows)
from http://www.portentinteractive.com.
