Using Timer Events

[Ted Sullivan]

Question
Does AutoPlay Media Studio have timer events?

Answer
Yes AutoPlay Media Studio 6.0 has a built in timer. You can start the timer using the action Page.StartTimer(). You can start the timer from any event such as Button > Click, Page > Show or Video > Finish to name a few. When you create the action you have to specify a time that you would like this timer to trigger. This is in milliseconds so 1000 = 1 second.

Once the timer has been started then the event Page > Actions > On Timer will execute the code in this tab on the interval that you specified in the Page.StartTimer() action. This code will be executed over and over again until the project closes or a Page.StopTimer() action is executed.
