Re: AVI,s on one screen

Good idea with the variable, We will take note of it for the next version of AutoPlay.

It would be nice in future generations to use a variable in the AVI object properties,
similar to the way you change Text Objects.
Then change it to different file locations for different movies. This would be much easier for multiple videos on the same page.

example: (commands paraphrased)

AVI Video Object
Name: MyVideo
Filename: %MyVideoVar%

Text Object 1
Name: My First Video
OnMouseClick =
set %MyVideoVar% = %SrcDir%\Videos\Video1.avi
Page Show MyVideo

Text Object 2
Name: My Second Video
OnMouseClick =
set %MyVideoVar% = %SrcDir%\Videos\Video2.avi
Page Show MyVideo

I have a screen in which I would like an avi pop up and dissapear when the next avi is called. Is there a way? right now I have the avi on the screenand it plays when the link is pressed I would like to not see the avi on the screen when the page is loaded, instead have it appear when the link is clicked. sorry if I havent explained it right.
Thanks
