Subtitles of the Movie (Adobe Encore CS3 / Project: Flash Presentation / Actions)
OK it's time for us to do our first round of linking, so that everybody knows where to go when buttons are clicked. So I'm going to go back to my menu move this over just a little bit and let's see what we have here. We have our movies that are going to play in the scene selection. Each one of these timelines should go into the next timeline. So with Dragon selected I'm going to make sure that the Pickwhip goes to the next movie down here. So let's go ahead and move this over a little bit and look at the End Action. The End Action is what you want to happen when this movie plays. So we have two choices here, in our Main Menu where it says Play Movie. We want each one of these End Actions to go to the next movie, then we're going to create an override for the Sub Menu. So I'll go to Dragon, go to the End Action and drag it to the Ferris, click on the Ferris Timeline, drag its End Action to Himalaya, click on Himalaya and drag its End Action to Starship and Starship's End Action will go back to the Main Menu. So we're going to return to the last menu. Now let's go ahead and see what happens when we go to our Sub Menu. So I'm going to go to the Sub Menu and when you click on each one of these Buttons they should do something instead of going to the very next movie when the person clicks on the next scene. Each one of these Buttons should play the movie that's in the timeline but then when that scene is done it should return back to the Menu here. So we're going to go to our Overrides, so the link is for it to play this movie and its Override is to link back to here and this one to. Their all going to link back to this Menu. And of course we always have to double check and make sure everything is going to work and that's the fun part. So let me go ahead now to the Main Menu again, click on Play Movie and make sure it goes to the timeline that I want it to go to which is the Dragon. So I'm going to start there, actually from the top of the list, slideshow, it has its link for the Slideshow and Scene Selection goes to the next Album. Now let's go ahead and give it a little spin and see if everything works. Click on Play Movie, great, click on this End Action Button down here in the bottom, it should go to the next movie, awesome. End Action, working great, End Action and the next End Action should go to the Menu, we hope. Wonderful. Now let's try our Scene Selection, Dragon, End Action should go back to this Menu, Ferris, End Action, End Action, so far so good, Himalaya, Himalaya, see that, that's why testing is important. Starship, Starship works and it goes back to the Main Menu but Himalaya is giving us a hard time, don't do that to us Himalaya. So click on Himalaya and then make sure it goes to the Himalaya Timeline. So that's why you see testing is so important. Now let's go ahead and talk about dealing with our Slideshow.
