Digital Workshop

I've uploaded a compilation of Opus examples that use scripting, for people to play with or use.

They include:

1. An auto-generated page navigation system
2. An auto-generated Table of Contents
3. Click n Select words within a text box
4. Click n Grab
5. Unique randomised numbers
6. Randomised answer order in a quiz
7. ROT13
8. Basic cloning

They can be found under the izones menu on my website. You need Plexus installed.

Thank you very much for doing this
I'm looking forward to exploring your scripts and learning (hopefully!) how they work.
Cheers

I was unable to download the zip file.
Clicking on the link produces a blank window and nothing else.
Did a search on my hard drive for a new zip file without luck
Can you post the zip file here?
But in saying that Imwould recommend that all zip downloaders visit Macks website. It is awesome.
Cheers

I think that this is yet-another-IE issue. FF lets me download the file once I've added interactive to the allow popups list.

However, I've changed the target frame so NOW both IE and FF will respond better and the file should download. You may get a downloading file warning in IE depending on the version and security setting, but once this has been accepted, it will allow the DL.

FF will simply display the standard DL security box, with is much better and a lot clearer that IE's.

Having wasted a day last week trying to change Z-layer values in a CSS template because IE does it's own thing, you may have guessed that I'm not a great IE fan :-0

Hope that the DLd scripting examples provide fruitful.

Mack

Thanks for that Mack

Works like a charm now.

I do have Firefox, so maybe you could edit your original post advising that Firefox is the recommended browser.

Cheers and thank you once again

Hi Mack!
I interests one function (unique randomised numbers), but I cannot download the file "function.zip".
Couldnt you attach this file on the forum?
Thanks.

I must have moved the zip when I was tidying the website. I update the example asap but for now here is the direct link:

Hi Mack!

Thank you for your work. I use this script often.
Now i want to find a unique number, but with one exception, which is in the variable (for example $myNumber).
Give what changes to make in the code to delete the number specified in the variable, please.
Thank you.

Hi V!

Looked at this on Friday and couldn't work out what you wanted - it's now Monday and am none the wiser

Can you clarify what you're trying to do?

Mack

Hi Mack

This script display a list of numbers with random order, for example, from 1 to 5: 2, 1, 5, 3, 4.
Now I need to get on the list was not "3" (or any number set as variable, say $del). The result will be: 2, 4, 5, 1.

I understand that i need to set condition, but how and where - confused:)

Mack,

Just to let you know I've tried several times to download your sample scripts but each time I'm directed to the DW web site to download the plugin.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled several versions (file sizes) of the plugin dating from 2004, until the present and I'm still directed to the DW download page.

May I also add, that I'm amazed at what you've accomplished using Opus.

All the best.

Hi Leo,

I tried the opus functions example and also got redirected but after it downloaded v5.5 everything was fine.

Have a look in the add/remove and see if the plugin is there and if so remove it and try again.

Am included the source for that publication here for you to play with.

Glad you like the examples. We producing some *interesting* things for our customers but things like geopaper are where the real playtime with Opus scripting takes place.

Mack

Hi V,

That script isn't really designed to do that because it generates the list of numbers first. Basically, you'd want to create the array of numbers without $X in the array and then shuffle. I'd use a different method - something like this:

myArray = new Array(1,2,4,5)

theRandomiser(myArray)

Debug.trace(myArray)


function theRandomiser(a)
{
var l = a.length-1
var rnd
var tmp

for (var c = 0; c <= l; c++)
{
rnd = String.random(l)
tmp = a[rnd]
a[rnd] = a[c]
a[c] = tmp
}


}

This will shuffle any array which means that you can create your own lists, numbers, words, questions, etc and shuffle it. To miss an element SIMPLY don't include it in the array to be shuffled.

Mack

Thank you, Mack!
