Does trigger.js work if Smartupdate is turned off in Netscape?

If Smartupdate is turned off the trigger.js will not cause the automatic download of the MTS3 Player. In this case the PluginURL entry in the embed tag takes over and causes a puzzle piece to display on the web page. When the user clicks on the puzzle piece the browser will be redirected to a new page that explains our Player and provides a Download link for the full executable. For the PluginURL function to work the following conditions must be met:

* The HTML page that contains the embed has the correct PluginURL address

* The Browser is Netscape

* The MTS3 Player is not installed on the local system

* Smartupdate is turned OFF (default setting is on)

The MTX 2 HTML application automatically puts the PluginURL function into the HTML. If you did not use the MTX 2 HTML application (
http://www.metastream.com/download/mtx2html.zip ) to embed your MTS3 content into your HTML page, then we recommend that download the application and do so. Updating older HTML pages with MTS3 content to the format provided in MTX 2 HTML version 15 will solve some issues that might come up between your content and the browsers.


Tip:

------------

You can prevent the user leaving your web site by spawning a new window when they click on the puzzle piece. To do this edit your HTML page and add the following JavaScript function and replace the default PluginURL with the one below.

< !-- java_script function -->

function openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0

window.open(theURL,winName,features);

}

< !-- Replacement PluginURL -->

pluginurl="JavascriptpenBrWindow
('http://www.metastream.com/download/netinstall.html','metastream','scrollbars=no,width=570,height=610')"
