Screen Media Guide

...

Scene (a

Scene Anchor or a

...

Scene Object.) Once the

Media item appears, it will automatically play for the duration of

...

the Media. After it is done playing it will remain in the Scene and the learner can play it again unless the “close when complete” option is chosen.

To stop the Guide, use a Deactivate Resource or an End Script Resource.

Screen Media Inspector

An Inspector appears when you click the object it is anchored to.  Inspectors must be anchored to something in the

...

Scene (a

...

Scene Anchor or a

...

Scene object.) Once the

...

Media item appears, it will automatically play for the duration of the

Media.

The Inspector is persistent and when the learner views the message and clicks “OK” the Inspector remains on the object and can be clicked on again.

To stop the Inspector, use a Deactivate Resource or an End Script Resource.

Position of Screen Media Inspector

The screen does its best to get out of the way and position itself so you can see it. Inspectors start above the object, then may move some more if it detects any collisions.
