Hi Guys, quick question. I have a simple project with two scenes (Intro and Main). Is there a way to switch from one player configuration in the intro scene to a different player configuration in the main scene within the same project? Thanks G
Hi Garry do you mean choose different player options? Like switch off Menu for Intro and switch on Menu for main slide? then yes...In the slide properties panel
Hi Wendy, Meaning say having 'Note and Resouces' 'not' showing in the Player for the Intro scene. However, when then user moves to the Main scene the Player shows 'Note and Resouces' within the same project.
In Storyview select the Intro scene then Ctrl A to select all slides - in the bottom right hand corner Slide properties panel deselect the Notes and Resources checkboxes (see image above)
Do the same for the options you want for the Main scene
Since the player is defined by an xml file (various colours etc) can the same player automatically load or switch between two xml files (ie: say two color schemes) within the same project? Cheers G
maybe I'm not understanding your issue. I thought you wanted different player options to show/hide on a scene by scene basis. Are you talking about completing different coloured player options? If so, then I can't help with how that would work - hopefully someone else can chime in to help you.
Sorry Wendy, im trying to figure out if a player configuration file (i underztood the note/resources menu items) can be changed for each scene within the same project.
When a scene gets loaded (via its xml file) can i force the player to reload a different xml file for a different scene?
If i can figure out how the player loads the xml file (colurs etc) you could allow the user to select their own themed playerskin inside the project.

Thanks again - didnt mean to confuse - g
Sounds like a good idea if you could do it, but I'm guessing not.
Certainly would be a nice feature to allow users to load the different player colour themes via selecting the player xml files.
