Graphics

Is it possible to trigger a scene online from another scene?
I've tried using the normal trigger and a script I found here on the forum, but they seem to require that the scene is already online. 

Since we're using an automation tool and a MOS-workflow, I do not know the take IDs at any given time, so I would like to trigger the template itself.

This script works, but when the script executes the animation freezes for a couple of seconds in the scene that contains the script.

dim template as xpScene
engine.GetSceneByName("Name", template)
template.SetOnline(0, 0, 0)

Yeah this is the behaviour I get, could you have the scene online all the time and hide / show the layer instead? 

dim fb as xpOutputFrameBuffer

 

engine.GetOutputFrameBuffer(0, fb)

 

fb.SetLayerVisible(0, false)

Are you using the HTML5 or ActiveX XPression MOS plugin? 
Do you know you can assign static IDs to MOS graphics?

I will try that, at least the engine does not freeze doing it this way.

Thanks!
