38 Browser Files – URLs and Flash
Flexibility of the Browser Commands
Since URL’ s can lead to .html, .htm, .asp, .com, .org, etc… they can be anyone
of way too many extensions for the Information Station to keep up with. If you
search any URL not on the Information Station, you must use the channel
number in the command. This tells the Information Station it is OK to pass the
URL along to the browser.
Example:
This is correct:
“ http://www.alcorn.com”
5
PL
This is wrong:
“ http://www.alcorn.com” PL
If you are searching .swf, .htm, and .html files located on the Information Station
in the WEB folder, then you can use the standard numbering convention or full
names in quotes as usual. There is an order of precedence here too:
Example:
15PL ; causes the Information Station to look for a bro00001.
swf
, then
bro00001.
htm
, then bro00001.
html
in that order
.
How Files are Displayed
The current resolution is 800x600 for the IS and 1920x1080 for the ISHD, so
you can set your layouts to this size if preferred. This size is subject to change
without notice. Flash files are expanded to full screen. HTML files and web
URL’ s are shown full screen, as it operates like Internet Explorer in Kiosk mode.
You will need to implement a hide mouse command. In your HTML page’ s
JavaScript you can minimize interference with a crosshair mouse:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
p {cursor: crosshair;}
-->
</style>
Or hide in your flash application’ s Action Script:
Mouse.hide().
