User Guide

• Position / test position of object. This condition will ask you select which border of the
frame to test, and it will be true if the object goes through the given border.
• Alterable values / Compare to one of the alterable values. Allow you to compare a value
to one of the alterable values. If the comparison is true, the condition is true.
• Alterable values / Compare to one of the alterable strings. Allow you to compare a
string to the content of one of the alterable strings.
Conditions of the counter object
• Compare the counter to a value. Allows you to make a comparison with the value of the
counter. If the comparison is true then the condition is true.
Actions of interest
The number of actions in Multimedia Fusion is even greater than the number of conditions.
There are actions for every object, in every domain. Refer to the electronic documentation for
an exhaustive list of all the actions. We will concentrate on the main actions for the principal
objects.
Special object actions
• Change a global value. Allows you to modify the value of a global value.
• Set global string. Changes the content of one of the global strings.
• Group of events / Activate. Activates a group of events: all the events within the group are
tested again. The On group activation condition is also called.
• Group of events / Deactivate. Deactivate a group of events: all the events within the group
will become inactive.
• Randomise. Initialise the value of the random generator. Random numbers are generated
from a mathematical calculation. If you set the randomise seed to a specific value, the list
of numbers generated will always be the same: very useful to make demos of your product
where you expect the numbers to be the same at each session.
• Fast loops / Start loop. Initiate a fast loop. More info in appendix 3.
Speaker object actions
The speaker object actions allow you to play music and samples.
• Play sample. Opens the sound selector for you to choose a sample. This sample can be
part of another application loaded in Multimedia Fusion, an application on disc, or a simple
WAV file on disc. If you check the “Uninterruptible” checkmark, the sample will not be
interrupted until it ends.
