First page 5 seconds then go to next page

[allenz]

Hi
Am trying to figure out how and where to put the script. On show or on timer?
When my program starts page 1 comes up. Then after 5 seconds I want to go to the next page.

I search the forum and found a script that's almost 100 lines long. Phew! That's a lot for a simple timer function.

Anyway I tried this but I'm missing a few things. The page comes up and immediately goes to the next page. Not waiting 5 seconds.

On Show
01 Page.StartTimer(5000);
02 Page.Navigate(PAGE_NEXT);
03

Basically it's a splash screen.
Can someone help please?
Thanks
Allen

Your almost there.

The line: Page.StartTimer(5000)

tells the app that you want the code in the On Timer event to be ran every 5000 milliseconds (or 5 Seconds). Once the timer is started, it will fire the On Timer event in the interval you specify.

So, to have the page jump in 5 seconds, start the timer On Show, and then in the On Timer event, do the page jump.

On Show:
Page.StartTimer(5000)

On Timer:
Page.Jump(PAGE_NEXT)

The Page.Jump(NEXT_PAGE) should be:

Page.Navigate(PAGE_NEXT); -- Note the Navigate change out

Sincerely,

that'll teach me to think I know what I'm talking about

Eh... I transposed PAGE_NEXT to NEXT_PAGE... so I am no better.

I am taking that XML approach (aka. Make your own variables up as you go). Har!

Question:
When launching the OnTimer event, is it:
Launch...wait..launch

or

Wait...Launch...wait

WHich, of course would influence the sequence of events...

Ahhhh! Thank you

Now it works.

So on show starts the event (Timer) and the script oh the timer tab executes what the On Show started.

Thanks much

Launch...wait..launch (from the point of the Page's On Show event firing) would be my opinion.
