Working with pages in Interactive layouts
Pages are the space where you design and control the flow of your Interactive layout. A
Presentation layout contains at least one page. An Image Sequence layout contains one
page for each frame that you create to animate a series of images. A Button layout contains
one page for each of the button's states (such as on, off, up, down, and so forth).
Just like objects, actions, and scripts, pages are a powerful part of Interactive layouts. For
example, you can:
• Precisely control the flow of your presentation by configuring pages to advance based on
an automatic time interval or when an end user presses a key combination or uses the
mouse.
• Add transitions, such as a fade in or fade out, between pages.
• Run a particular script automatically when a page is shown or exited.
Adding pages to an Interactive layout
You can add pages to a Presentation layout or Image Sequence layout in two ways:
• Choose Page > Insert, enter the number of pages to add, and click OK.
• Display the Page Layout palette (Window > Page Layout), Control+click/right-click a
page, enter the number of pages to add, and click OK.
Configuring pages
You can configure pages to work in your Interactive layouts in several ways:
• Use Interactive preferences: Set default page transitions and the auto-advance interval
for every page in an Interactive layout by going to the Presentation pane in the Preferences
dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences).
• Use actions and scripts: Set actions and scripts to refer to pages in your presentation. For
example, you associate an action with a button's user event so that when the end user
clicks the button, the next page is displayed.
• Use the Pages tab: Configure individual pages in your Presentation layout using the Pages
tab in the Interactive palette. The Pages tab of the Interactive palette lists each page in
your layout by the page number. You can sort the page list by page names or master pages.
