Interactive Objects
There are over a dozen different object types to choose from. Object types include: button, image, video, label, paragraph, rich text, hotspot, flash, web, slideshow, input, checkbox, radiobox, listbox, combobox, tree control, and progress. Each object includes a variety of events and is fully customizable.
Quick Actions
You don’t need to be a programmer to use AutoPlay Media Studio. It’s easy enough for anyone to use. While a full wizard-assisted scripting engine is available for power users, the new Quick Action tab lets new users get up to speed right away. Just fill in the blanks to handle the most popular actions like opening documents, running programs, switching pages and more. It’s that easy!
Scripting
For advanced users, AutoPlay Media Studio 7.5 includes the same scripting engine as other Indigo Rose products. Based on the popular “Lua” language, this incredibly powerful free-form scripting engine features everything from ‘for, repeat and while’ loops, to ‘if/else’ conditions, functions, variables and associative arrays. AutoPlay’s event-driven, object-oriented architecture makes it easy to create interactive multimedia applications.

Pages are the backbone of AutoPlay Media Studio. Consider that you can have up to 1000 of them in each project and you’ll realize the importance of effective page management. Accessing pages is easy thanks to the page tabs on the main window. You can also easily change page order, rename or remove pages and more with the click of your mouse.
Window Styles
Run your project as a standard window, or go for something more extraordinary like bordered, flat, or kiosk mode. With support for window masks, you don’t even have to make it rectangular. Talk about cool!
Advanced Multi-Channel Audio
Take advantage of the fastest, most advanced sound effect and music handling engine available anywhere. Add music files to the play list, and they’ll play in the background while your project runs. All of the music is automatically mixed in real time with mouse-over sound effects. In fact, you can play up to 8 channels of audio simultaneously with automatic selection of hardware or software mixing. Incredibly, it does not require any version of DirectSound or DirectX to be installed, using them only if available.
Menu Bars

Autorun MAX! contains a variety of actions that can be triggered by mouse clicks, or run automatically from project events. Navigating pages, opening documents and running executable programs are a few examples of the functionality that can be incorporated in your CD-ROM designs.
Action Properties
You don’t need to be a programmer to create interactive CD-ROMS. Simply choose the action you want from an action dropdown, and fill in the requested information fields and Autorun MAX! will handle the rest.
Project Settings
Run your project as a standard window, or go for something more extraordinary like bordered, flat or even kiosk mode. Paired with the custom window mask option, you don’t even have to make it rectangular.
Background Music
Add a bunch of music files to the play list, and they’ll play in the background while your project runs. All of the music is automatically mixed in real-time with mouse-over sound effects.
Splash Screens
Splash screen images such as a company or product logo can be shown for a given duration as a graphical introduction or closing of your CD-ROM menu.
Startup Video
Start your project up with an introductory video that makes an eye catching start to your project.
Easy Publishing
Autorun MAX! makes packaging up and distributing your finished project a snap. Whether you’d like to create a single-file executable for distribution by web download or email (only in Business Edition), or burn it to a CD data disc, it just takes a few clicks. You can even choose to publish to ISO CD images(only in Business Edition) or to a hard drive folder for packing it up with an installer/setup builder.
