Billboard Improvements: Support for Adobe Flash Application File (.swf) Billboards and More Image<br />

Billboard File Types (.gif, .jpg, .jpeg), New Billboard Styles, and Ability to Preview Billboards<br />

<strong>InstallShield</strong> includes several new billboard-related features that give you more flexibility and control<br />

over the look and feel of the file transfer portion of your installation:<br />

• You can add an Adobe Flash application file (.swf) as a billboard in your project.<br />

Flash application files can consist of videos, movies, sounds, interactive interfaces, games, text, and<br />

more—anything that is supported by the .swf type of file.<br />

• <strong>InstallShield</strong> lets you use .gif, .jpg, and .jpeg files as billboards. Previously, only .bmp files were<br />

supported.<br />

• <strong>InstallShield</strong> includes a new Billboard Type setting that lets you specify which style of billboard you<br />

want to use in your installation. For example, with one style, the installation displays a full-screen<br />

background, with billboards in the foreground, and a small progress box in the lower-right corner of<br />

the screen. With another style, the installation displays a standard-size dialog that shows the<br />

billboards. The bottom of this dialog shows the progress bar.<br />

• <strong>InstallShield</strong> lets you preview a billboard to see how it would be displayed at run time, without<br />

requiring you to build and run a release. Previewing a billboard lets you see how your billboard will<br />

look with the background color, position, and related settings that are currently configured for your<br />

billboard.<br />

The Billboards view in <strong>InstallShield</strong> is where you add billboard files, configure billboard-related settings,<br />

and preview billboards.<br />

This feature applies to <strong>Express</strong> projects.<br />
