LIGHTS! CAMERA! A NEW VERSION OF MACROMEDIA"S ACTION

Multimedia presentation package, Action 2.0 for Windows, now includes
data driven charting capabilities with automatic motion and DDE links.
The new feature lets users create full motion 2-D and 3-D charts, such
as pie and bar charts, and link them to Windows Applications that support
DDE.  Microsoft Excel or Lotus 1-2-3 for Windows are such programs.  When
source spreadheet data is changed, the moving Action! chart is automatically
updated.

The update supports new MIDI sound support and improved capabilities for
importing slide presentations.  Users can now import images from applications
such as Harvard Graphics, Persuasion, Lotus Freelance, or PowerPoint in
a single step; automatically separate text and graphics and apply a 
multimedia template.

Action 2.0 for Windows also includes Macromedia's new royalty free 
application player, PlayAct, allowing any PC running Windows to playback an
Action! Presentation without Action! running on the system.
