The SpinFire viewer includes several automatic features that will make your SpinFire enabled web page more useful to visitors. For example, the web page can automatically check for the presence of the SpinFire viewer on a visitor’s computer. If the viewer is not detected the web page will automatically link to the Actify web site and prompt the user to download a free copy. To add automatic viewer downloading to your sample page make it look like this: Welcome to this simple web page.

In the sample above we added: codeBase="http://download.actify.com/SpinFire/SFViewerWeb.cab" This tells Microsoft Internet Explorer to go to the Actify download page to install the SpinFire viewer. Additional SpinFire Parameters: SpinFire allows you to add other parameters to control how your model is displayed. For example, you can control the background color, the width and height of the viewing area, add an automatic spin to the model, insert a background image, add a border to the view etc. A complete list of these parameters is available in the SpinFire manual, which is available at: www.actify.com The following sample adds a few parameters that will add a background that fades from white (255 255 255) to blue (128 128 255) and spins the model around the “Y” axis. Welcome to this simple web page.

Try experimenting with the values given in the samples. For a solid white background use “255 255 255”. Try changing the axis spin values, higher numbers increase the spin speed. The next lesson will show you how make your web page compatible with Netscape Navigator. SpinFire: Putting Designs Online #2 Adding more capabilities to your SpinFire web page.
