Installation

There are certain technologies needed on both the client and server for Movie Masher to function. In a nutshell, an up-to-date browser with Adobe Flash™ Player version 10 or higher is needed by end users and any standard web server should work fine. Learn more in Requirements.

The Movie Masher distribution now includes several simple example implementations. They demonstrate methods of embedding the applet in a web page, and show how to specify the variables it requires to load its configuration. At this level certain display options like the size and background color of the applet can be chosen. This is also where certain security parameters are set, and JavaScript functions defined. Learn more in Applet Embedding.

Next, it's helpful to become familiarized with the configuration loading process. Movie Masher requests configuration information from the server each time it loads. The URL location of the request is determined by a parameter that's set in the HTML that pulls in the applet. The server responds to the request with an XML formatted document which can subsequently trigger the request of more configuration from other URLs, allowing data to be arbitrarily organized. Learn more in Configuration Loading.
