If you prefer the coding side, try putting this into the OnSetText of the text object. Works for me. Good luck! if Text.contains(" " Then DoRec = True : textOut &= " " : tmp = "" If tmp = "<" Then DoRec = False : tmp = "" If DoRec = True Then textOut &= tmp End If Next ...

Hello all, I am looking for a way to add a new scene director in scripting. Is there anything like: Scene.CreateSceneDirector("NewSceneDirName") I do not see anything in the API. Am I missing it, or is this not a thing? Thanks in advance for your help. Mike

For the OnSetText, I needed to turn the double, rhs into a string first, then get a substring of that. Here is the updated code you could put in OnSetText. dim parts as string() = Text.split(".") dim rhs as double = Cint(parts(1))*32 Text = parts(0) + "'" + Cstr(rhs).Substring(0,4) ...

You could put the above into a loop, or put it into OnSetText of each of the text objects: dim parts as string() = Text.split(".") dim rhs as double = Cint(parts(1))*32 Text = parts(0) + "'" + Cstr(rhs.Substring(0,4)) To limit the number of numbers after the ' sign, get a substring ...

I think the issue is you need to convert your integer i counter variable to a string, so your GetObjectByName should be this for each. Scene.GetObjectByName("DATALINQ - RANK - CHOICE " & Cstr(i), choiceWinner) Prior to the if statement, I would also debug the values you are testing. What ...

I also prefer to do this with scripting, so I will just modify Simons code above. This should also do it regardless of the number of digits. I put this in onOnline. dim Number3 as xpBaseObject Self.GetObjectByName("Number3",Number3) dim parts as string() = Number3.Text.split(".") 'split your ...

In scripting I add line breaks using a certain string I look for, then replace that string with vbCrLf. I put this in the onSetText of the text object. People know to add [NL] to place line break in specific places. Text = Text.Replace("[NL]",vbCrLf) Hope this helps. Mike #XPress ...

RE: [Question] How do you affect a live scene via api?

Posted By Mike Krebs 04-05-2018 19:14
Found In Egroup: Graphics \ view thread
I do a similar thing by triggering scene directors when scenes are online. To affect an online scene you have to get the online scene by calling the framebuffer, then layer, then get scene. I created a loop awhile back which searches through both Framebuffers and layers -5 - 5 and check if it is a LowerThird ...

I do this for a few scenes and it works well. In an event marker or similar, you can add this to the script: dim parentScene as xpScene Scene.GetParent(parentScene) Now you can access parentScene and use is as you normally would. Change colors, trigger animation controllers and scene directors, ...

We route a PC to a live source input material in Xpression. That way we can let a producer or other person control what is happening on the PC for the demo. We have also used ipads and iphones mirrored to an apple tv and routed that to a live source for various screen demos. Mike #XPression
