TopMenu background video

[srfscenar]

Hi all,

What my client need is to have a video for background which is fading in and will be completed after 10seconds.
I know that in order to delay the IG, I will add an in effect and set the first frame to 10sec.

Also, there will be the same video again but this time without the fade which will be added several times to the TopMenu playlist to keep it playing. That is my TopMenu.

So far so good, but what do I have to do so if the user comes back to the TopMenu from the feature,
NOT to see the video that Fades in but instead to watch the non fade clip?
I am not sure if I explained it correct.

How can I do that?

Any suggestions please?

Could I jump to the second playitem of the Top menu?

You need to use the PlayListMarks. Add a PLMark to the second PlayItem (the one without fade). On the MO commands, you can play from the beginning (a plain PlayPL) or play from the second chapter (the video without fadein, with PlayPLatMK). Obviously your IG should match (delay when playing the video with fade, no delay when playing the video without fade)

Thank you!
The PlatMK worked great but how do i set te delay to off when going back?

Set a GPR of your choice to store a value if you need to show the fadein/delay or not.
Put a check into the Page0 of your IG. If you need to show the fadein, jump to Page1 which contains the delay (as an InEffect), else jump to Page2 (which contains the plain Menu). The Page1 will also jump to Page2 when the InEffect is finished (you can have an auto-actioned button that jumps to Page2)

Thanks!
so I will need a page0, a Page1 with the in Effect and another which will be my MainPage? Right?

[mp3dom]

Exactly.

Just another quick please.

I want in my pop up to check the chapters and go to the appropriate page and highlight the appropriate button.

These are my commands on the Chapter button:
Move GPR ChapterID5 (PSR)Chapter
If GPR Chapter > 8 setbuttonpage ButtonCHECK Page 3
If GPR Chapter > 4 setbuttonpage ButtonCHECK Page 2
SetButtonPage Button Check Page1

and the comands on the check (auto action) Button in each page:
Move GPR Chapter (PSR)Chapter
Move GPR CHAP_BUTTON (GPR)Chapters
SetButtonPage Button: (GPR) CHAP_BUTONS

I must be doing something wrong because its not working.
It works ONLY for the 1st page.

Got any idea?

PS: I have 4 chapter buttons in each bage + 2 left and right arrows.

[srfscenar]

GOT IT! Thanks!

You can do the same in a *very simple* way...
Let's make the chapter buttons starting from ID0 onwards for every page. Then:

Move GPR ChapterID5 (PSR)Chapter
Sub GPR ChapterID5, 1
If GPR Chapter > 7 Goto Label ToPage3
If GPR Chapter > 3 Goto Lable ToPage2
SetButtonPage GPR ChapterID5, Page1
;ToPage3
Sub GPR ChapterID5, 8
SetButtonPage GPR ChapterID5, Page3
;ToPage2
Sub GPR ChapterID5, 4
SetButtonPage GPR ChapterID5, Page2

That's it, you don't need auto-actioned button in every page (that can also create problems when you navigate from one page to another)

Thanks! I will try this also and let you know.
