Controlling Captivate Movies With Variables - Adobe 65029940 - Captivate - PC Using Manual

Controlling Captivate movies with variables

You can control Captivate movies with variables that can be set on the Timeline. Controlling a
movie with variables is useful if you want to create a custom SWF playback control or if you are
putting a movie into a Flash FLA file.
Note: Using variables is an advanced feature that should be implemented only by users with a solid
background in Macromedia Flash.
The following commands are used by playback controls and preview:
rdcmndPrevious
set to 1 to go previous slide
rdcmndNextSlide
set to 1 to go to next slide
rdcmndPause
set to 1 to pause the movie
rdcmndResume
set to 1 to resume showing a paused movie
rdcmndRewindAndStop
rewind and stop the movie
rdcmndRewindAndPlay
rewind and play the movie
rdcmndGotoFrame|
go to a specific frame
rdcmndExit
exit
rdcmndInfo
display the information window
The following variables provide information currently used by playback controls and preview:
rdinfoFrameCount
total number of swf frames in the movie (this is not the number of frames in the main Timeline,
but the sum of all slide frames)
rdinfoSlidesInProject
number of slides in the movie (including hidden slides)
rdinfoCurrentFrame
current frame (goes from 1 to rdinfoFrameCount when you play the movie)
rdinfoCurrentSlide
slide currently playing (zero based)
rdinfoSlideCount
number of slides in the movie (not including hidden slides)
rdIsMainMovie
