Slideshow navigation in V7

**Mina** · 12-29-2007, 09:17 AM

Have you tried searching the Help File?

Code:

SlideShow.Navigate
SlideShow.Pause
SlideShow.Play

Thanks, Yes I did search the help-file as well as the User Guide (I am in the business of writing tutorials for embroidery and drawing software, so I will probably be one of the 10 people on this planet who actually use help files <ggg>). I saw that script, but no "handles" on it, so I just had no idea what to do with it.

Meanwhile I found a template inside AMS with a slideshow that uses 4 navigation buttons and I learned that the buttons control the slideshow (I was looking for controls in the slideshow-object itself). So I copied and pasted those buttons into my test-project and things work like a charm.

Learning a bit more every day

and "studying" the templates by clicking on each object and looking at the properties is a good way to learn the software too. So slowly, but steadily I will get there!

Thanks again,

Loes

Hi Les,
Sorry I don't have the link but what you want to do has been posted with the script. A search in AMS5 or AMS6 will give you what you want.

Les >> I think that studiying other's code is the best (and most interesting) way to learn. You just need to be careful since some has bad scripting habits (me? XD). But I like that way better, with the help of the help file to understand better.

The slideshow object is a new object which isn't availble in previous AMS versions.
Anyway, I think Les has what he wants

Thanks again for the tips. Studying the various scipts is indeed helping me a lot: I'm not as scared by scripts anymore as I was a couple of days ago

And yes, I have meanwhile found what I needed for the slideshow.
I am almost ready now to start working on my first real AMS project and apply everything I learned so far in my test project.

For my previous tutorials I have been using DemoShield (by InstallShield/Macrovision). But as the developers have put that program to sleep I needed something else and found AutoPlay Media Studio.

Happy New Years Eve everyone!

When you are looking at the Help file, each Action Reference (such as SlideShow.Navigate), has an "Examples" tab up at the top. I struggled for a few days until someone kindly told me about those. :yes

Ehm, to tell you the truth: I made a stupid typo when registering for the forum. Tried to corrrect it, but haven't found a way to change Les into Loes in my acount settings

And... New Year's Eve on the beach?? In Canada? Chilllll!

In Cuba

I'm on the plane by 5', and to the resort by 9'30 then just having fun for the rest of the night. Yay!

For a warm beach in Canada, during winter... maybe in Nunavut? :lol

Anyway, I think you're right on the username point... there's no way for users to change it. If it's important for you, maybe you should try PM an IR admin? They should be able to do it from the backend.
