ArtistScope
customizes Secure Image for America Online's marketing
research division.
Secure
Image, which was designed to be simple to use for the average
home user, now incorporates new features in response to
customized requirements.
Digital Marketing, America Online's marketing research
division, required a customized version that converted the
same set of images to be used on several of their development
servers. To avoid preparing a different set of images for each
site, Artistscope developed the new registry system so that
users could add as many sites as required to the program.
Another feature required by Aol that Artistscope was able to
meet was the reversal of the "swap image for text"
feature so that a text message is displayed first and then the
user must hold down the mouse button in order to view the
image. Having to use the mouse button in this way lessened the
chances of an image thief capturing all the images on the page
with the one stroke.
Although the features were originally required in Secure Image
2, it was found that Aol browsers are not the standard
package. Although they are named as higher version browsers,
the more recent browsers are still basically v4.0, which was
not up to supporting the Java version used in the program.
(2.1-encryption, essential to make the software run, is only
supported in v4.1 browsers and later.)
