Actions

Top  Previous  Next

Any one object can trigger (at the same time) four different actions:

External Commands and Page Actions
External If the user clicks on the object, this action can :

Start an installation, run any external program, jump to your web page, send an e-mail, open a document, display a help file, run another MBD file, Browse the CD, etc…
Move between pages of the MBD project
Exit

Interaction with other objects and Video
Interact Object can interact with other objects on the same page. (show/hide object, play video) on user actions:

Mouse move over the object.
Mouse click on the object.

This action allows you to add a professional look to your application (buttons glow when mouse moves over …)

Sound Actions
Sounds Object can play a sound if mouse moves over the object and/or another sound if mouse clicks on the object. Multimedia Builder supports multiple channels, so you can still play a loop in the background without interruption.

 

More Actions (Scripting)

Scripts An advanced scripting option. Meanwhile the previous actions were intended for creating the simple reactions on the basic events (like a mouse over, or mouse clicks), the "More Actions" is useful for experienced MMB users to writing advanced scripts to better controlling MMB and creating many interactive effects.
