About Swish and AutoPlay

[stendhal]

Hi friends:
I'm just begining with this software, autoplay, and I have one question. I make a blank proyect and I create a flash movie with swish. I insert the flash in the first blank page of my project. When I execute it, all works fine. But, how can I setup autoplay or the flash movie, for when the flash is finish, load a diferent page of the project?. I mean, the flash movie have an stop point, is not loop, and I setup the same in the properties of the project. But when the flash movie is finish, I can add any botom or text for use to jump to another page of the project.
Please, help me and sorry for my grammar please, I don't have enought practice yet.

Yep that's easy.

1. Put an FSCommand on the last frame of your flash movie in swish.

2. Re-export it to .swf, insert the .swf on page 1.

3. Double click the .swf, and in its "OnFSCommand" event add an action to jump to page 2.

That's it, you're done!

I keep saying this (as do other forum members): Its incredibly satisfying to see someones problems ( software wise ) being answered so quickly and easily within this forum.
I've said before (OK, OK, I'm getting monotonous now) that this forum is worth a goodly proportion of the purchase price, - one day other software houses are going to twig, but, in the meantime IR are out there alone.

Re: About Swish and AutoPlay

Is there anyway to use a swish menu that will have multiple buttons that jump to different pages. I am designing a map and i want each dot on the map to jump to a diffenent page in the cd.

Re: About Swish and AutoPlay

Yes, that is easily done.

Set up each dot on your map as a button in Swish. Add a "on press" action to each button, and have each button send an FSCommand (each dot having a different FSCommand).

Import your Flash object into AMS and set up your page jumps according to which FSCommand is fired from your Swish (Flash) movie.

There was a good post on this a while back... if you do a search under FSCommand you will find a wealth of knowledge here.

Good luck, and if you need more info let us know.

Re: About Swish and AutoPlay

Absolutely. Same method. FSCommands. You just add an FSCommand to each button in Swish, i.e.

Button 1 - fscommand ("page1");
Button 2 - fscommand ("page2");
Button 3 - fscommand ("page3");

And then export it and insert it in AMS as a flash object. Now simply insert in that Flash object's "OnFSCommand" event area a FLASH OBJECT > GET PROPERTY > LastFSCommand action to retrieve the clicked value into a variable. Then just use that variable to trigger your page jump. I reccomend using actual page names as your FSCommand values so you can simply jump to that value using a PAGE > JUMP action.

It's really easy, give it a shot and let us know how it goes. Oh yeah, somewhere in this forum is a similar post to this with an example file, try doing some searching in the forum here for "Swish" or "FScommand", etc. and you should be able to find it... Hope that helps.

Hmmmmm..... that post looks familiar, Corey!!!!!

I blame it squarely on Carlos Santana because that's who yelling in my ear right now... Saturday morning wouldn't be Saturday morning without Sanatana, i.e. "Hold On", "Stormy", and "Oye Como Va", etc. but it puts me in a different rythym than the rest of y'all ergo the head on posts. Y'all need to get syncopated...

Re: About Swish and AutoPlay

Would that be the same for Sunday mornings as well?

Re: About Swish and AutoPlay

Traditionally, on Sunday mornings my family has always listened to Snake Net. Grandma finds it soothing.

Did Grandma find that on the Apple iTunes player??? That is one of the 10 presents for the Hard Rock / Metal category....

Re: About Swish and AutoPlay

Perish the thought!!! Grandma would never touch anything by Apple, she thinks Steve Jobs is the devil for some reason or the other, and once she gets her mind made up Grandma is unmovable...

BTW I didn't discover Snake Net, it discovered me. I played lead guitar on a tune for some weird guy in Edmonton named "Drunk Dave" (studio gig) and it got played on Snake Net, so he sent me a link, and now I listen to it lots. I think I have a copy of that tune around here somewhere, it really sucks. Seems to me it was like a 40 year old bald alchoholic in undersized clothing singing a syrupy teenage love song named, "Oh Sharon" or something like that, I was paid $80 CAN. Take THAT "Soldier of Fortune"...

*EDIT* Yep I found it but it's on a cassette tape. Hee har... I don't even own a cassette player anymore...

Re: About Swish and AutoPlay

thanks for the quick replys!!. i can only get the the swish object to change one page.
i set it up in autoplay

%property%=flashobject(test.getproperty("lastfscom mand")

and i setup my swish buttons i am still a little unsure on.
i have tried like

on(press)
fscommand (page.jump("page2")',"");
on (press)
fscommand(excu("page2");

but it still does nothing in autoplay.. i think i am setting it up wrong in swish.
:(
