Changes in this release:
<h3>v4.0.0.4: April 1, 2003</h3>
<h4>New Features:</h4>[*]Added support for the new Windows Media Player 9.0 ActiveX control. Now if the WMP 9.0 ActiveX control is present at design-time or run-time it will be used instead of the WMP 6.4 control. Now the WMP 6.4 control is only used if WMP 9.0 or greater is not installed. Note that the WMP 9.0 control has certain incompatibilities with the WMP 6.4 control. For full details, read the topic entitled "Media Player 9.0 Compatibility Issues" in the AutoPlay Media Studio 4.0 help file.
[*]The MediaPlayerObject.SetFullScreen action can now work on Media Player Objects that are not visible. If the object is not visible when the action is executed, the "Full Screen" effect will take place when the object becomes visible and starts playing.
[*]Added support for a registry value called "AltPrefPath" in the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Indigo Rose\AutoPlay Media Studio 4.0" that can be used to specify an alternate location for the Preferences.xml file at design-time. This alternate path must be a full path and file name, i.e. "C:\Prefs\MyPrefs.xml". This feature is helpful if you do not have write permissions to the Program Files directory on your development system.
[*]Added support for a registry value called "AltINIPath" in the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Indigo Rose\AutoPlay Media Studio 4.0" that can be used to specify an alternate location for the settings.ini file at design-time. This alternate path must be a full path and file name, i.e. "C:\Prefs\MySettings.ini". This feature is helpful if you do not have write permissions to the Program Files directory on your development system.
[*]The dialog displayed by the Dialog.Wait() action will now automatically resize in order to fit the text that is displayed.
[*]Made it so that the first page of the AutoPlay application will not be displayed if an Application.Exit action occurs on the project's "On Initialize" event. In order for this to work, the "Title Bar" and "Border" options must be turned off on the General tab of the Project Settings screen.
[*]Made it so that the AMS 3.0-4.0 project converter now uses %AbsSystemLanguage% instead of %SysLanguage%, because %AbsSystemLanguage% is closer to the intent of AutoPlay Menu Studio 3.0.
[*]Added a German language module.
<h4>Fixes:</h4>[*]Fixed drawing problems that could sometimes occur in the shell tree controls on the Distribution Folder and My Computer bars if scrolling the window while a tooltip is displayed.
[*]Fixed a bug where the Create Zip Archive function was not picking up the Splash and Credits screen images.
[*]Prevented the last viewed window from flashing on the screen sometimes during a Preview and Build.
[*]Fixed a bug where Edit | Select All would not set a dominant object if one was not set before the command was executed.
[*]Fixed a bug where the Image object would cut off some caption text if the text was right aligned and italic. Now there is a five-pixel buffer to allow for extra space in this situation.
[*]Fixed a bug where the External Icon path was not being cleared when starting a new project if the previously loaded project used that field.
[*]Fixed a bug where certain objects would be displayed in reverse z-order.
[*]Fixed a bug where support files were being stored in the specified subfolder during the build process regardless of whether or not the "Store support files in subfolder" option was checked.
[*]Fixed a bug where the Title Text returned by a WebBrowserObject.GetProperty for a local file would be the filename instead of the actual title text.
[*]Fixed a tooltip-related bug both in the design and runtime environments that could cause the product to crash on Windows 98 in certain rare circumstances.
[*]Fixed a bug where a blank dialog would appear when starting the design environment if you are logged in with "User" level permissions on Windows NT/2000/XP.
[*]Fixed a bug where the Page.HideAllObjects action would not hide certain object types properly.
[*]Fixed a bug where the MediaPlayer.Stop action would not take into account the "Automatically rewind when clip is stopped" option.
[*]Fixed a bug where the path to the "Help document/URL" on the Project | Settings | Requirements tab was not expanding variables at runtime.
[*]Fixed a bug with the Dialog.FolderBrowse action, where the folder name would initially be "*..*" if the default folder was empty.
[*]Fixed a bug where the third line of text displayed when using a Dialog.TimedMessage action was cut in half. Now the third line of text is fully visible.
[*]Fixed a bug where pages would display briefly if Page.Jump or Application.Exit actions occurred on the page's "On Initialize" event. Now if these actions occur on the "On Initialize" event, the page will not be displayed at all.
[*]Fixed a bug where the "Alternative Image" was not being displayed properly for MediaPlayer Objects.
[*]Fixed a bug in the shell tree controls on the Distribution Folder and My Computer bars where the root folder would not show a proper context menu.
