Hi There,
I have my first project whereby we have to begin with a full screen layout that has a full screen image that should link to 3 different pages. 1 image has to touch into a 2 zone layout that displays a webpage in the middle and then have the area to touch back to the homepage image? How does one accomplish going from one layout to another layout linking all the media?
Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
There are a couple ways you can do this.
There's a hide and show zone advanced command. Do you know how to send an advanced command? You can send them from interactive zones. I'd recommend having 3 zones. one that's fullscreen, and two that are in the other configuration. You can send a command to hide the two zones, and show the fullscreen zone, and vice versa. You can attach this command to the touch event, under the advanced tab for that event.
Another way you can do it is not to use hide/show zone. You can instead listen for a zone message command that goes from playing image or html file to playing an event handler set to stop all playback. SO if a zone is not playing anything visible, it disappears. Here's a screenshot from the zone message and event handler example..
Hi Lyndon,
Would this not be easier if i was to the "Switch Presentations Function". They will have a full screen image with 3 buttons. So it needs to go from a full screen layout to a 2 zone layout with a webpage for 2 of the buttons. Then the 3rd button is going to go into a full image that clicks into other images and goes back again.
Yes, you could use switch presentation, but then you're using multiple presentations, and there's a short black screen when you switch presentations because the unit kills all zones before starting the new presentation.
If you're using any html, then it would be faster to not switch presentations.
But, if you prefer, you can use switch presentations. You're still going to have to listen for a command, and then send the command to switch.
Then how do you make one presentation with one layout to go to a completely different layout as you obviously dont have layers and can only work with one layout. So if you not switching presentations, how will you go from A full Screen Layout then Switch to a 2 Zone Layout then back to a Full Zone Layout, back to a 2 zone layout?
Ok i made it work with the switching of presentations, but now that i am connecting 1 button to a webpage, the webpage doesnt scroll down the page on the touch screen and the second button is going to a contact us webpage and doesnt pop up with a keyboard.
