Controlling the menu
Controlling the menu requires the use of shared variables. These shared variables may be used to exchange
information between SVG files, and may also be used to exchange information through an entire network.
For this exercise, three variables are used for menu control:
Menu selected: This variable affects the file changed when an item is selected.
Menu activated: This variable affects the file changed when an item is activated.
Change menu: This variable controls the state of the menu.
These variables may be found in the Edit Mode Workspace, under Instant Messaging Variable (FIG. 80).
Next, open the Interactive controls section (FIG. 81). This section contains three additional variables: Next
Item, Previous Item, and Activate Item.
These three controls may be used to control displayed media files in the menu. In place of NEXT, PREV, and
ACTIVATE, enter the Action IDs of the files to be controlled.
For more information on shared variables, please refer to the Shared
Variables section on page 97.
