- Spritz 1.0
-
- Spritz is a tool that allows you to create QuickTime Movies with Interactive content. It is
- a Mac 8.5 app that is optimized to take advantage of the newest features 8.5 offers including
- Nav Services, Contextual Menus, Drag and Drop, Window Proxies, Floating Windows, Theme controls, and other
- new OS features. Future versions may be compatible with 8.1 but 1.0 requires 8.5.
-
- Spritz allows you to create button bars, slide shows, simple animations and much more. It
- allows the author to make sprites that hide/show, rotate/scale, move, send the user to URL's,
- and many more actions.
-
- This version comes with minimal documentation. That will improved at a later time, check the
- web site for more info.
-
- To report a bug email dmcgavran@earthlink.net with Spritz Bug in the title.
-
- Feel free to email me demos for the web site, feature requests or just a note telling me
- that you like the software.
-
- Spritz 1.0 is freeware, that means I am doing this for free and because I think
- this is cool. The downside is that since it is free I don't have unlimited time to work
- on it.
-
- I am now working on 1.1 and I have several ideas for features, but I would appreciate any requests
- people have so that I can make Spritz into the program people want.
-
- Please enjoy and keep in touch,
-
- Thanks
