[Xerte] Spam: Include a waiting period inbetween the icons

[Paul Beckwith]

Hi Pavithra, 

 

There isn't a property for this at the moment I'm afraid, but here is how
you can get around it;

 

Add a third page and set it's synchPoint to 1 or 2 seconds before your audio
ends

Right click the third page and add a script icon to it

Make sure your sound icon has an ID (in the example I have used soundIconID)

In the script icon type the following;

 

//Pause the audio before it ends and therefore retain the text on screen.

soundIconID.pause();

 

This should work fine as long as you have a second of silence at the end of
your audio file. If you don't, you can add it using something like Adobe
Soundbooth.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Paul

Thanks a lot Paul. That was great.

 

But, after the sound is played, the corresponding text inserted within the
sound vanishes from the screen.

In our project, I want to retain the text till the user clicks the next page
control.

Is there any property to be set for that?

 

Warm regards,

Pavithra

Hi Pavithra, 

 

You need to do the following...

 

Create a  sound icon (and add your sound), right click on this sound icon
and add two new page icons. 

On the second new page icon, add a synchPoint from the properties menu at
the top.

Set the value to seconds x 1000 (so 1 second =  1000, 2 seconds = 2000 etc)

Then right click on the new page icon and add a text icon for your text. 

 

When adding a synchPoint to a page, the contents of the page will be
displayed after X number of seconds in relation to your sound file.

 

Thanks, 

 

Paul

Hi Team,

 

Thanks for your continued support. 

 

I like to know how to insert a waiting period between two icons.

For instance

*	Text icon - text1 is displayed
*	In synchronizing with the voice over, the second text icon should be
loaded only after 15-20 seconds.

 

Is there a possibility to delay the loading of a particular icon?

 

Warm Regards, 

Pavithra
