» Title: Creative DW Image Show PRO
» Description: Creative DW Image Show PRO is a Dreamweaver extension which enables the user to create multimedia presentations. It combines the features of the popular Creative DW Image Show with the ability to add professional text effects to slides (similar to After Effects). The product is very customizable: the user can choose the duration of the transition effects, the slide motion start and end position, zoom and panning type for both images and texts.
Now comes the real part: the engine program itself.
The loading setup
First we are going to create the initiation routine, the one that starts it all out. Open the second key-frame
of the actions layer. This is what we do:
move the baseline instance so that no one can see it on the picture.
Set Property ("/baseline", X Position) = "1000"
then let's cut the points variable up into lots of separate coordinate variables:
Set Variable: "n" = "1"
Loop While (n <= totalpoints)
Set Variable: "x"&n = Substring (points,( (n-1) * 12 + 1), 3 )
Set Variable: "y"&n = Substring (points, ((n-1 ) * 12 + 5), 3 )
Set Variable: "z"&n = Substring (points, ((n-1) * 12 + 9), 3 )
Set Variable: "n" = n+1
End Loop
This places the x-coordinate of point 1 in variable x1, the y-coordinate in y1, the z in z1
and the same thing for all other points.
now we do the same thing for the lines variable:
Set Variable: "n" = "1"
Loop While (n <=totallines)
Set Variable: "pt1"&n = Substring (lines, (n-1)*5+1, 2 )
Set Variable: "pt2"&n = Substring (lines, (n-1)*5+3, 2 )
Set Variable: "n" = n+1
End Loop
The first end of point 1 is put in pt11, the second one in pt21, etc.
set the center of the display. These are the coordinates of point (0,0) in the movie.
Set Variable: "centerx" = "190"
Set Variable: "centery" = "215"
