Global Buttons
August 10, 2006 12:00 AM
Text: Put the button and a text box at the "global" level whether that is title, chapter, or section. Have the action on the button change the contents of the text box which it can see because it is at a global level. The action that changes the contents of the text box uses the value of a variable. Simply set the value of that variable before the user clicks the button. One way to do this is to put an action at the Page level so when the page is shown, the text is set in the variable. When the user clicks the button, it uses the text for that page. Sound: You can use the same technique for the sound. The global button action Plays a global audio object. There is a local action on the page that changes the contents of the Play object to the sound file you want.Just tested this. Questions? Please post.
