Q : I seem to be getting errors such as MSWINSCK is
missing and Elementz are bringing up Page cannot be displayed.
What is causing this?
A : An easy fix on this one. You system may be missing
some Microsoft ActiveX Controls. The Microsoft Winsock
control is used by the IFXeServer to send templates to Elementz.
Additional ActiveX Controls 2 on the
Support Files Page
contains this control which should resolve the issue.Q :
Is InstantFX Elements targeted more at Developers or Designers?
A : Both! InstantFX Elements has a wide range of components in
it that can be used by either stream. Some of the components in
the release version possibly could be seen as more directed at
Developers (for ASP/PHP, Database work or similar) however there
are also many components that are more design related such as
Menus, Image SlideShows, Tooltips, Random Links/Quotes/Images.
InstantFX Elementz also allows snippets (be it tables,
layouts, text or scripted HTML code) to be saved and reused,
this is useful from either point of view. Developers
will probably find the option to use this feature in HTML View
mode most advantageous.
Q : What are the advantages of InstantFX Elementz compared
to similar addins?
A : The simplest and biggest advantage of InstantFX Elementz is
it's expandability potential without having to reinstall or
upgrade to a "next version". The flexible "HTML
Generator" type approach that has been taken with this addin for
its individual components allows both XZAKT Media and other
developers to create additional "Elementz" with ease.
These additional "Elementz" will then be able to be Imported to
your library of tools. This will be one of the main areas
that XZAKT Media will be concentrating on in the coming months,
to continue to increase the amount of Elementz available and
make these freely available. Development of additional
Elementz, including more Slideshows, Gallery Tools, News Tickers
and even Flash content is already underway.
Some of the other advantages of Elementz include continued
FrontPage support for those not yet, or unable to, upgrade to
Expression Web, its ability to be used in HTML View and its HTML
snippets which become available across both Expression Web and
FrontPage - handy for anyone switching between both products.
Q : I probably fall more into a "designer" category and
have no need for database tools. Will Elementz have more
image and Flash tools?
Yes! A new build of Elementz is underway that will include
some additional scripting commands for us to utilize in creating
more free import components ("Elementz") that we release.
This will include tools for image resizing, thumbnailing,
filtering and conversion. Flash templates/tools are
already being worked on as well. Both expected to be
placed in an updated release in early January 2007.
For full blown Flash tools (MP3 Players, Slideshows, Navigation
etc) we recommend looking at our InstantFX SE range of products
:))
