Advertise Doors when people try to right-click on your page. If you support the Doors project like this, then you will get a free editable copy of the Doors folppy disk recovery tool. Incorporate the code below into your web pages, and then leave a comment on the space, giving me your website adress and e-mail adress, so that I can check your website has the code, add a link to it from this space, and e-mail you with the floppy disk tool. You can edit the red part of the code a bit, but it must still indicate that Doors is good, or you or your website support it. However, you don't really have to - How am I going to stop you from using the code for yourself? Here is the code:

 

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
   <!--
   var message="Hello...\nThis website supports the Emptosoft Doors project. To find out more go to: spaces.msn.com/members/emptosoft";
   function clickIE4(){
    if (event.button==2){
     alert(message);
     return false;
    }
   }
   function clickNS4(e){
    if (document.layers||document.getElementById&&!document.all){
     if (e.which==2||e.which==3){
      alert(message);
      return false;
     }
    }
   }
   if (document.layers){
    document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
    document.onmousedown=clickNS4;
   }
   else if (document.all&&!document.getElementById){
    document.onmousedown=clickIE4;
   }
   document.oncontextmenu=new Function("alert(message);return false")
   // -->
   </SCRIPT>

In this one, the clock is broken for some reason...Oh yeah - It also says it is counting down until the end of the world:

 

 

Same with this one, except there is only 60 seconds left:

 

 

Want to know how to do this? This is how:

 

X = Put the number of seconds you want left here (more than 60 seconds will automatically be transferred up into minutes, hours and days).

Y = Put the caption you want at the bottom here. However, instead of putting spaces, put %20.

Z = You can put a message here for the top, but it doesn't look too good - Especially when you use more than 1 word for every Z in the address. You also have to put %20 for a space here.

 

This can be done because the file used is a dynamic flash file - What it looks like depends on the values put in after its name. Go to forums.southanuk.co.uk to see simpler dynamic flash files in action. Here is an example of one of their dynamic flash files: http://www.southanuk.co.uk/beta/lite/bar.swf?t=spaces.msn.com/members/emptosoft

 

If anyone from the London 2012 Website team happens to come here, and is not happy with this, then please notify me immideately by making a comment. However, I do not see why anyone should not want this - It is increasing support for the London 2012 Bid, it is harmless, and it is actually quite fun...

 

Last night, between 8 and 10pm I brought functionality to the oldest tool in Doors. The 'Compress My Documents' tool was the first tool in intelligent slide show, although it was quickly followed by the 'Shutdown' show, and the fake virus tool. Its graphical likeness to windows developed significantly over time, but the basic sequence of messages end events remained the same. Functionality was brought to this tool using Command Prompt. However, despite the ease of use of command prompt, and the extensive display of information about a compression when it is taking place, I would like to eventually work out some way of putting it in a more professional looking window, like the ones made by NSIS.

 

I also developed several other batch files last night:

1. Decompress Documents and Settings - The twin of the batch file described above

2. System Information Viewer 1.2 - Featuring new Doors Command Prompt logo, and version display

3. Floppy disk recovery tool 1.0 and 1.1 - My best batch file yet. Absolutely amazing...For a batch file. Version 1.1 features the new Doors Command Prompt logo, and version display.

 

However, there is a problem with the Compress and Decompress Documents and Settings tools: Your Documents and Settings have to be C:\Documents and Settings. I am currently searching the Command Prompt command line reference A-Z and the registry for a way of setting the users Documents as the target for compression or decompression.

 

Doors is now 80% complete. I am now investigating how Open Office converts its Slide Shows into flash. If it works well enough for the sort of effects and triggered animations that Doors uses, then I may release Doors in Flash.
