AW: AW: newbie video player questions

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hello Eddie,
as always, there are more than one approach. But if you don't use different
substaks the maintenance and programming is less. You do only need different
substacks, if you need more than one window. Just think about a good name
set (morning_01, morning_02, afternoon_01, ...) of your cards and you can
just go to any "virtual substack" and card you want, without using
substacks.
My two cents
Tiemo

Betreff: Re: AW: newbie video player questions

hello tiemo
thanks for the quick reply.
the script is in the card of each player. there is no button on the 
card. just the onmouse command.
but somehow I just seem to have solved this problem by using a 
specific card number with' go card' and not 'next'.
now it goes to the specified card after playing. (I'll try to find 
how to use random numbers in the manual).
so now I need to figure out how to let it go to a certain substack on 
a specific time.
I thought I make a subtack for 'morning' one for 'afternoon' and one 
for 'evening' and in each stack are a number of cards with a 
videoplayer
any idea on how to do this?

button
