Web Page Object

The Web Page object will show web pages in your DISE Movie, either as a still image or moving (with playing embedded objects for example).

Web pages are cached in the background so there is no delay before displaying an object with a web page (just the first time), and reloading is done in the background.

Properties

General tab

URL / File

URL to the web page, this could also be a local path to a file or a path to a file on a shared directory at a server.

Live

If there is moving images or flash content that you would like to display while showing the web page you can enable the live view and set the frame rate.

Reload

How often, in minutes that you would like to reload the web page, if possible this will be done in the background.

Scroll page

Scroll the web page, this will enable you to only show an interesting bit of a larger web page.

Advanced tab

Include in list of dependencies

If enabled the file specified will be added to the dependencies list and therefore sent out to the Player through DISE Bridge.

Render with fixed size

Fixed size when rendering the web page. The web page will be resized from this size to the objects size. So if you specify a fixed size of 320x240 and the object is 640x480 the size of the web page will be shown in double size.

Set cookies

Allows you to specify cookies that will be sent with the web request.

Make object transparent if loading fails

Instead of displaying a black background, the web page will not be visible if it fails to load for some reason.

Web page considerations

We recommended that the web pages you want to display are custom made for the DISE system, since a small change in design or layout may destroy the complete image. Pop-ups and sound may also cause problems, and you should avoid them. Pages that rely heavily on javascript to function may not be able to load correctly or at all.
