... I want to accomplish is to allow the user to select from several groups
of
images in the cast (pictures from different cities) for example. I Have
created a drop down menu for this purpose. There is also a second drop down
menu to allow the user to choose the kind of transition "effect" they would
like to use between each picture. I know that transitions can be puppeted
easily enough, but how could I go about generating the chosen group of
pictures into a slide show with the chosen transition??
--------------------------------------------------
Jax,
I would create a property list for this functionality. Something like
[#Paris: 03, #Venice: 37]. This list will build as user makes selections.
Then to playback, I would use a script similar to this. global myShowList
is referring to this user built list
on advanceToNextSlide
global myShowList
if myShowList = [:] then
--no pictures remaining
beep
else
myCity = myShowList.getPropAt(1)
myTransition = myShowList[myCity]
myImageName = myCity.string
myCitySpriteNumber = 3 -- or the sprite number you have choosen to show
the pix
sprite(myCitySpriteNumber).member.name = myImageName
puppetTransition myTransition, 4, 4, TRUE
myShowList.deleteAt(1)
end if
end
HTH
