New Text ObjectMediator's text object has been completely redesigned. It now gives you access to all of the features you would expect from a standard word processor, such as a broad range of text formatting options, including indents and justification, the ability to create and format tables or insert pictures, spellchecking options, etc.Watch video.

Unicode Mediator 9 is now Unicode enabled, allowing users to enter text in objects that accept user input (such as text objects or input objects) in many different languages, including non- western languages. (Please note, however, that Mediator only supports left-to-right character entry.)

SCORM It is now possible to create a SCORM-compliant course for export to Flash or HTML and to upload to a Learning Management System (LMS) or Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). Exchange of data between the course and the LMS takes place via two specific SCORM actions, Set SCORM Variable and Get SCORM Variable.Watch video.

Smooth 3D Effects on Page Turn Mediator 9 includes impressive 3D effects for use in page transitions. These Direct 3D page transitions work on any computer with a graphic card that supports Direct 3D 9.0 (standard for most of today's PC's). If a Mediator 9 project is shown on a computer without Direct 3D 9.0, a normal transition will be used.

Sound & Actions A brand new Sound Timeline improves synchronization of sound and actions. Sounds are now represented by a "wave", making it easy to synchronize actions with sound.

Enhanced HTML editingHTML Code ObjectThe new HTML object allows you to embed HTML code in your Mediator page. If you are working on an HTML project, the object can contain any code, including server-side scripting such as ASP or PHP. The HTML object also contains predefined HTML code samples that you can use as is or adapt for your individual projects.Watch video.

Scrolling HTML pages In earlier versions of Mediator, HTML pages could only be designed in a preset screen resolution. Mediator 9 allows you to choose different page heights for your HTML project and lets you adapt dimensions to individual page content, as you would with an HTML editor.
