SHOCKWAVE BY MACROMEDIA
Shockwave is a tool for web developers to deliver interactive multimedia,
graphics, and streaming audio to users via the World Wide Web. In
the Lunar Prospector web site, we use Shockwave to deliver a timetable
that outlines past and future missions to the moon as a self-contained
panel within the web page. The Shockwave-generated panel is too large
to fit within the frame alloted to it on the page; however, the user
can "drag" the timeline panel using a mouse to view the
various parts of the timeline. In addition, Shockwave is also used
in the Lunar Prospector web page to generate an interactive explanation
of the various phases of the moon as seen on Earth. |
