[Xerte] Pause Before Exit...

[Julian Tenney]

Is this a situation that everyone would benefit from or is this
something specific to your own design?

 

I'm struggling to see why it is useful to stay on the last page - but
you can probably enlighten me. If it's because the last page says 'now
click the button to move on', then it would be better to use the
onSoundComplete event to display the message.

 

I don't know what you're trying to do...?

If I used the onSoundComplete event it would remove the last image and
then redisplay it, therefore it flickering off and then on. The fix I
have is working but it means measuring every sound file and getting the
last few seconds of it. Bit of a pain over a lot of pages :-s

Can't you just use an onSoundComplete event to throw up the image when
the audio clip finishes? Or is that what Paul is already doing?

I'm struggling with the design principle. Pages are synched to playback.
The slider is at 0. Why would I want to see graphics associated with a
different point in time?

 

I'm struggling with the code, as reset happens in many different ways.
The synching stuff is a bit tricky (didn't we work through a heap of
issues together a while back?)

I think that would work, yes

It needs to  just keep the last image on the screen after the sound has
finished playing, not show the first. 

 

Could we have a sound icon property which does reset audio, 1 or 0.
Would that work?

What would you like to happen?

 

Specify an image that is shown whilst the sound is at 0 / reset?

 

Show the first image...?

 

Prevent the sound resetting at the end?

Hi everyone, 

 

I've posted a few times about having the last synch'd page off a sound
icon remain on screen. There is a hack but it's a bit of a pain
especially when using the templates system. Are there any plans to look
into this for a fix?

 

Cheers, 

 

Paul
