Features in the spotlight

It's hardly possible to list all the features of Janus as the list grows every week, hence here's just a short sample from the feature list:

  • Create forms at runtime

  • Skin and reskin forms at runtime

  • Access the file system and manipulate files in many ways

  • Send and receive E-mails / SMS

  • Upload download files using FTP / SFTP / HTTP

  • Create PDF files, compress / extract .zip and .cab files

  • Record sound, create MIDI files, rip CD's, play media with DirectX

Loading content

Janus applications can load Flash™ and Flex™ content in various ways. One drawback of .swf and .flv files is, that they can be used easily in an 'unauthorized context'. To avoid misuse of your content, Janus let's you load your external content e.g. from encrypted files or from password protected .zip files without storing them in a temporary local file.

Extensibility

The Janus API is designed for greatest versatility and extensibility. It's possible to add new functionality and to incorporate existing libraries very quickly. We will provide an Extension SDK shortly. If you need assistance, contact us, we will provide any help possible.

Features in depth

Rethinking Forms – A Revolution in Flash Application Development

Innovation defines Janus and it starts with a new approach to forms. With Remote SWF, Janus eliminates the need for end users to have to reinstall newer versions of their software. Simply upload a new SWF to the server, and like a webpage, end users are able to run the most version of their desktop application immediately!

And whether you are using normal, transparent, translucent, or a combination of form types, Janus breaks the mold of traditional wrappers by allowing developers to dynamically generate additional forms at run time.

Work sound, Deploy safe

Janus applications are secure. Janus loads embedded and encrypted (even embedded-encrypted) movies directly from a memory stream without saving them to a temporary file, so no more need of obfuscating your code.

Industry leading 1,200+ functions

With more than 1,200+ functions available, Janus crushes even it’s closest competition by 50%. That’s because Janus was built to tap into the the raw power, wealth of functions, and the rock solid stability provided for in the .NET Framework 2.

Create pdf files directly from actionscript, integrate your application with GPS technology, embed instances of Internet Explorer, Acrobat reader, or Mozilla firefox, record sound, compose, play and save MIDI files… Let’s just say we keep our documentation editors busy.

Almost all items on the Janus wish list become implemented. Everything, and we mean everything, is made easy in Janus.

How do you feel today?

You change your clothes every day, choosing them by your moods, why shouldn't you change the skin of your application at will? so, what about skinning your application runtime? or let your users choose the skin that's right for them? and if you don't like our pre-made set of skins, build it your own with the included skin generator!

Advanced Database and FTP Support

Janus can talk right out of the box with MySQL®, ODCB (Microsoft Access®) and SQLite®. And of course you can use FTP/SFTP protocols. Both database and ftp support has the ability to use async commands for processing large quantities of data. You want a robust application? Meet Janus.

Manipulate images

We provide a full set of functions to work and manipulate images right out of the box. We support GIF, TIFF, BMP, PNG, JPG and you can even use these functions with Flash® Bitmapdata objects, so you can for example manipulate bitmaps using Flash® filters and then manipulate them with Janus.

Sheer Power Multimedia

Janus let's you embed DirectShow instances right in your application. This means that you can play with your Janus application any kind of multimedia file you can think of, and that you are no longer constrained to Flash® Platform inner codec.

Office integration

You can access, read, modify and save Microsoft Excel® worksheets. You can integrate Microsoft Powerpoint® presentations and control them. Or even use D.D.E. protocol to control your Microsoft Office® applications directly from your application!

Faster, Friendlier Development

Janus integrates into your existing development environment, be it Eclipse®, Flex Builder2®, Flash Develop® or any other IDE that has the ability to call Janus via commandline. Register it as external tool and invoke the compilation of your project by a single mouse-click. And everything is at your disposal right out of the box.

Expand beyond imaginations

Janus has been made with the Microsoft .NET® technology as its solid foundation. This means that advanced .NET® developers can expand Janus at their wish by writing .NET® dll and integrate them in their Janus applications. Also, we are future proof, since .NET® framework is the foundation of the new Microsoft Operative System, Windows Vista®
