  • 1.  Crawl. Short messages

    Posted 04-08-2013 08:04
    I have a task to put many short messages to the crawl. Does it mean that I must create 10000 pages for 10000 short messages? Is it possible to use Increment for reading group of lines (column) in single file one after another?

    You can script this I think...

    In a blank scene, on online, open your file of message. For each line use GetSceneByName in copy mode and add it in your scenegroup with xpscenegroup.addscene()

    I don't test it, but I think it's a way to explore...

    Hi Rustam,

    I'm not sure of there is "correct" way of doing this.

    In the past I have created twitterwalls and crawls but there I used only one scene and I created textfields for the texts and animation controllers.

    I've used two workflows for this. One where I created 5 textfields and 5 animation controllers and I simply cued up the textfields, put in the text and then let it play.

    Another workflow was where I created a textfield and a animation controller dynamically and once the animation controller was at the end of the animation, it would delete the animation controller and the textfield.

    That did require some extensive programming and I did it using the API and not the scripting inside Xpression.

    I did it this way to get some more control over my crawl.

    Just to give you another option.

    Best regards,

    Kenneth
