Digital Workshop

Hi there

first of all it's great to be back. I am an old Opus Pro owner soon to upgrade my product.

I have created a page with an initially hidden text. Now I want the text to be hidden on load, then show up as soon as user presses any key.
I have setup the action, but....when I preview it...text doesn't show up.

I have attached the file.

I hope you will be nice and patient, I intend to stick around

thank you in advance

Hi BillyBob

Welcome back - the latest version of Opus has a lot of brilliant features - well worth the upgrade in my opinion.

In saying that, I'm not sure which version of Opus you are using.

Going by your post, it is an older version as you say. (This is probably a useless sentence but I left it in just in case any of my old English teachers drop by )

Just going through your publication - you have a multi-trigger property on page 1 that shows the page.

Being page 1, unless the page is hidden, it will show anyway so remove the multi-triggers. They are not needed.

Looking at Frame 1, you have an action of "press any key to show" but your heading already shows anyway.

Your frame and text are already hidden so you can't assign a show it action by pressing any key - because it is hidden and as such has no active functionality.

To get your frame and text to show, create another frame around the entire page - don't hide this frame - the user won't see it. Now assign a keypress return action to the new unhidden frame that on anykey press shows your hidden frame and test.

Fixed file is attached however I can't guarantee it will open using whatever your version of Opus is.

If you can, update your details to advise forum members what your os and Opus version is.

Hope this helps

Graham





It will work now.

Dear Graham

thank you a lot! It did the trick and I was able to open your file.

I own an old Opus Pro (2.6 as far as I remember, we are talking about 10 years ago. I regret I never really get to use it, but I was very grateful for the intuitiveness of it.
