Digital Workshop

I have an object which is initially hidden. On show, the object performs this Simultaneous Action Group: (i) plays a sound which is determined by a variable from a selection of sounds; (ii) bounces around the page; and (iii) spins. The object is synched to the animation end, at which point the sound is stopped, and the object is hidden.

All this works as expected.

I would like to have the animation start from a different page position when the object responds to an On Show trigger. Preferably, I would would like the starting position to be randomly determined.

I'm no expert in OpusScript, but I feel that the solution might lie with the use of SetPosition(), but I have no idea of how (or even "if") I can set up variables to determine the X and Y settings, and then incorporate them into SetPosition().

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Morning Sentosa,

Yes this is quite easy to do using a script.

Ball.SetPosition(String.random(801), String.random(601), 0, 0 )


the above string is an OnShow action for the Ball not the page. When it appears, the ball is plaaced anywhere from 0 - 800 on the X and 0 - 600 on the Y.

The first 0 is how lon it takes to get there and the second 0 is how long it waits before moving.

Have included the ILM.

Thank you for that.

You have saved me hours of frustrating and more than likely fruitless work.

Thanks again
