Usage
Events are useful as a way to trigger Frames and the Resources within. Frames can have a Precondition that listens for a specific Event. Once this Event is emitted, the Frame’s Precondition will be satisfied, and the Resources within that Frame will begin their processing.
To create an Event Precondition for a Frame you can use the Event Link Shortcut at the bottom of the Resource. This will create a new child Frame with an Object Event Condition. You can then determine the settings so that the new Resource will only open when the precondition is satisfied.
About
The Open Event is emitted in the context of a Resource. It is intended to activate when the learner interacts with or sees the implementation of this Resource. For example, the Open Event will be called for Screen Message when the message appears on the screen; or for Media when the Media Item begins playing.
When it can be used
This Event is not guaranteed to be emitted. It depends on the Resource. To confirm if the Open Event is emitted for a specific Resource, please refer to the knowledge base article on that Resource.
