HI

I am designing an application (in Flex) where the slideshow is behaving like a movie.
I can go frame by frame , play, to end ....
but I have a problem:

I can do (script) so that the slideshow is running backwards ?? :roll:

Another question:
I need to have running 2 slidesows at once, and need control the transparency (with a variable) of one of them
This work appears in the preview, but when compiling (flex) does not work.
It only works when I put a preset in the slideshow setup menu
but then I can not change the programming values.

Opus Flex does not work in the same way as Opus / Plexus applications. The IDE can be used to build Flex applications but the functionality is limited and must be evaluated in the browser.

Opus helps goes some to to explaining what can / cannot be done, but don't take it as gospel. IMHO, it's good practice to use actions where possible and test key scripted functionality individually before adding to the main project.

In answer to your first question, the backwards action is available in flex for slideshows - so yes you could run it backwards. I've not tried scripted triggers but even without this, just link it to a ticker and control this via a variable for start / stop.

As for answer two, I believe that settransparency will not work in flex, but again by using actions and fade, you can simulate this.

Regards,

Mack

Mack:

I am aware of the limitations of exporting Opus Flex ...but always try to try new things... :roll:

So far everything I've done it works very well and will soon be able to show the results in the new portal

In first question,yes I have the chance to go back a slide, but what I wanted to see (play) the "whole" series is going to back.
In addition, we also need rotate at the same time the frame at an angle (to simulate a scientific instrument)
I tried a manual simulation of the "play "button"

Code:

function endevant(){

sector1.GotoSlide(slideNum)
sector1.SetRotation(slideNum,true,0.0)
slideNum = (sector1.GetSlide()+1) 


sector1.GotoSlide(slideNum)
sector1.SetRotation(slideNum,true,0.0)
slideNum = (sector1.GetSlide()+1)

...etc

}

the problem is that the sitema goes directly to the end and I see no intermediate frames (I can put delays in flex )
I have also tried "cheat" like

Code:

function endevant(){

sector1.GotoSlide(slideNum)
sector1.SetRotation(slideNum,true,0.0)
slideNum = (sector1.GetSlide()+1) 

timer()

sector1.GotoSlide(slideNum)
sector1.SetRotation(slideNum,true,0.0)
slideNum = (sector1.GetSlide()+1)

timer()

...etc

}

function timer(){

Image1.Show()
Image1.Hide()
// Image1 Transition -> fADES,sIMPLE 1,00, Exclusive
}

but is not working ...

The second question I leave for later... :lol:

Use a page variable named 'b'. Add this function to a ticker:

Code:

function changeSlide()
{
slideshow.GotoSlide(b)
b == 1 ? b = 4 : b--
}

I send you a small example of what I'm trying to do
The forward and back buttons in one step are quite correct
because they make progress and turn at a time

The problem is in the continuous play (red button)
I can not find how to turn and move at once (and that can be published to flex)

Nasua :shock:

Basic principle. Mack

Thank you very much Mack

It was close but I had a "little"

With this I can now continue the project!

Thank

Hi
I did not know, and continued without knowing :?:

is how it implements the Ticker
I find nothing in the help.
Anyway it works very well and I can control the speed

Ah - it was question! As Scarlett said, it was lost in translation.

Glad it works anyway :-)

mackavi, bwpatric:

Thank you very much! I've found it in "Ticker Trigger", the truth is that many commands ....
I still have much to learn .. the tool is very powerful and sometimes commands that are in general help, not meeting in the help of the script, or just be there

... and is in english ...
