How the midlet functions
The midlets created by CellPix should run on all standard Java enabled phones with
the exception of DoCoMo i-mode. CellPix always writes images to the Midlet JAR
file in the PNG format. CellPix assumes the availability of two softbutton below the screen
for interaction.
The midlet functions by the following rules:
- When it starts the first image displays with the softbuttons
set to "Info" and "Index" or the values they have been set to.
- If the slide show function has been enabled then the images will
change sequentially with the last being followed by the first.
- Whether the slide show function is on or not the phones arrow keys
can be used to moved forward or backward in the sequence.
- Pressing the "Index" displays an index of all images available with the
last image selected. The index display has two soft button functions which are
"Exit" to stop the application and "Select" to select the current image from the
list and display it. The phones "Fire" (or "Select") button will also display the
currently selected image.
- Once the index is displayed then the automatic changing
is turned off if it was originally set.
- Pressing "Info" for a displayed image will display any text associated with
a given image. There is one soft button for this text display and that is the "Continue"
function. This function returns to the image previously displayed.
Note that the "Info" button is available by default but can be set to be not available
by going to the options dialog in the editor. If "Info" is turned off then the
"Next" message replaces it, and the index is still available. The availability
of the index can also be turned off in which case the 'Exit' option appears in the menu
for each image.
Images that are larger than the screen
if an image is set to be larger than the screen size then in the Midp1.0 and Midp2.0 midlets
it is possible to scroll the image by using the <2> key (down), <4> key (right),
<6> key (left), the <8> key (up) and <5> key takes the image back to it's intial display
position (which may be centered or anchored to the top left, depending on the option selected).
