- NAME
- CD-XLPlay.AVf
-
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- CD-XLPlay.AVf is a basic AmigaVision Professional flow that will
- playback a CD-XL file.
-
- NOTE: To playback CD-XL files requires a CDTV Multimedia Player
- or a CD-ROM drive with emulation software.
-
- Before running this example, you must modify the first VARIABLES
- Icon. The expression within the VARIABLES Icon must set the XLFile
- variable equal to the pathname of a valid CD-XL file.
-
- When this example is presented, the first frame of the CD-XL file
- will be displayed to set the background resolution and palette.
- Then an object will be displayed. The CD-XL file will start playing
- within this object (its audio will be set to half the maximum
- volume). Anytime during the CD-XL playback, a mouse click will stop
- the playback and quit the program. If the CD-XL file plays to the
- end, click the mouse button to quit the example.
-
- The first VARIABLES Icon is used to make the XLFile variable equal
- the CD-XL file to be played.
-
- The SCREEN Icon is used to set the resolution and palette of the
- background. In this example, the first frame of the CD-XL file
- is used to set the background (like an ANIM5 file, a CD-XL file
- loaded into a SCREEN Icon will display its first frame). If you
- don't want to see the first frame of the CD-XL file, simply load
- the CD-XL file into the SCREEN Icon, wait for the SCREEN Icon's
- gadgets to set to those of the CD-XL file and then erase the CD-XL
- filename from the SCREEN Icon. This will display a background
- screen with the same attributes as the CD-XL file, without
- displaying its first frame.
-
- The GFX Icon creates the object in which the CD-XL file will be
- played. You can use Rectangle, Circle or even Polygon objects to
- playback your CD-XL file.
-
- The four VARIABLES Icons are used to set the AVSystem.CDTV.CDXL
- attributes. The four expressions in each of the VARIABLES Icons
- could have been placed in one VARIABLE Icon. The attributes set
- here are not the only attributes of the AVSystem.CDTV.CDXL object.
- Check your AmigaVision Professional User's Manual for the other
- available attributes.
-
- The last few icons allow you to stop the CD-XL playback with a
- mouse click and quit the example.
