What's new in AutoPlay Express 4
Finally we are happy to announce to you the major upgrade of our
AutoPlay Express product - version 4. Changes which have been made in
the product turns it into a complete comprehensive solution for producing
fully ready-to-use autoplay CD and DVD discs. Here's a list of the main
changes and improvements we made in version 4:
- Multi-objects editing
You may select several objects and edit their properties together. A great timesaving feature.
- Multiple actions per one mouse click supported
You can now perform more than one action when an object is clicked. For example,
now you can open a document and then play a sound with just one mouse click.

- Improved and enlarged set of 'on mouse click' actions
We've added more then 10 new actions. Actions are now structured by functionality groups.

- New multimedia objects added
Added Flash Player and Media Player objects. A Flash Player is used to play flash
animations inside the autoplay menu window and the Media Player is used to play video
files. Note that multimedia content will be played when you run the menu. While you
are editing the project the players are temporary replaced by image rectangles.

- Web Browser improved
Now Web Browser content is displayed even while you're designing the project.
- "Run" - new ultimate feature for effective menu testing
This feature is located in the menu Project -- Run and it allows you to run an
autoplay menu even when you are designing it. Due to special technologies the
autoplay menu will work just like it does on the CD or DVD disc so you may effectively
test and debug it. Disc burning is no longer required for testing an autoplay menu.

- Changed Virtual CD-ROM idea
Version 4 introduces a totally new way of binding an autoplay CD menu with files on
the CD disc. Now Virtual CD-ROM represents a real virtual disc layout. Initially the
layout has no files in it so you will need to fill it with files you are going to write
on your CD. Then while editing actions in the project you can select files from the
Virtual CD-ROM only.
The Virtual CD-ROM gives you the unique ability to create a complete structure of the
CD disc you are going to burn, similar to many CD-burning programs.

- Added CD/DVD burning feature
Now when publishing the project you can burn the final CD or DVD disc right from
our AutoPlay Express product. The menu you've designed and the files you've added
to the Virtual CD-ROM will be burned to the CD media and you'll get a fully ready-to-use
autoplay CD! There's no need for additional CD-burning software at all and you are free
from the headaches of manually moving files to proper places on the disc to keep the
CD menu working correctly. All this is handled automatically by the AutoPlay Express
internal CD-burner.
