Slider object that picks different bookmarks

Fri, 16 Mar 2012 19:27:32 GMT

I'm wondering if there is a way to use a slider object to switch through different bookmark objects. I'd like to set it up so that you can toggle through the discrete options on the slider and different pre-set selections will be made. I realize that you could set up many buttons to do this, but the slider takes up less space and is a bit cooler.

So far, I've created a slider object and it can take discrete values 1 through 10. I've also created a variable vBookmark that will take values 1 through 10 based on slider. But I am stuck on how to change bookmarks based on the change in variable.

Thanks for help in advance!

look at the attach example

when you move the slider it changes between the bookmarks

the example use a trigger on the vBM variable which holds the selected Bookmark ID

you can see the trigger in the document properties in the triggers tab

This looks very promising. Thanks! A few questions though....

When I click on Properties and go to Triggers tab, I see 6 Object IDs listed. When I click on each of them and try clicking on either "Add Actions.." button, the menus are blank - no triggers.

I'm not sure how to copy this into my document. What would you do to add a 4th bookmark, for example?

Also, after working a few times, the functionality eventually stopped. I tried recreating the error, but can't.

Thanks again for your help
