Plugin: Hiding Ticker and Clock Zone

Plugin name is: custom

You add this plugin under file, presentation properties, autorun using the name "custom".

 

This plugin is just for hiding text or clock widget.  The first 4 commands assume there's only one ticker and 1 clock zone.  So, it hides or shows the first zone it finds that's a ticker or clock zone depending on the command. The last command allows you to use the zone name to control which ticker or clock zone hides or shows.

 

clock!hide

clock!show

ticker!hide

ticker!show

ticker!show!zonename

    Hi, this plugin looks great. Thanks for sharing.

    I'm a bit of a newbie, and I'm having some trouble implimenting it.

    I have added the plugin in File>PresentationProperties>Autorun>Custom

    I want to initally hide the ticker zone on startup, and have the feed display for only 1 video out of 8 videos.

    In the 'Media Properties' for the first video, in the 'Advanced tab', I have added the command in 'Send / Send Plugin Message / custom / ticker!hide' - can it activate from here? Or do I need to make a Zone Message event?

    So far the zone is not hiding for me.

    Hopefully this makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I'm using BrightAuthor 3.8.0.41 with an XD230
