» 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.
Call ("move_ticker")
Go to and Play ("ticker loop")
Frame 6 - Label: move_ticker
Comment: The first action is to check if it is time to "loop" the ticker.
If ((triple_group:_x - (base_speed * /:multiplier)) start_x + loop_width)
Set Property ("triple_group", X Position) = triple_group:_x - loop_width
End If
Comment: Regardless of whether or not we needed to loop, move the ticker.
Set Property ("triple_group", X Position) = triple_group:_x - (base_speed * /:multiplier)
The if statement just checks if the ticker needs to be jumped. The top if is for forward movement, the bottom is for reverse movement. The final line moves the ticker every frame, and doesn't care if any jumping was neccesary. Note the use of the "/:multiplier" variable... it is what simplifies the speed changing, stopping, and reversing that this ticker is capable of. It is set to 1 by default, since multiplying the base_speed by 1 results in no change.
