I have read serveral posts on this subject. I am just learning Edge Animate so bear with me.
My file requires it navigate via keyboard presses - Up/Down menus and Left/Right menus. Upon reaching a desired menu item, pressing the Enter key navigates to another page.
I know there is code that navigates to the Next Label... like:
if (e.which == 39)
{
sym.play();
}
And for the left button, do something like:
if (e.which == 37)
{
sym.playReverse();
}
But because my timeline is not always linear, I would like to hard code the navigation like this:
if (e.which == 39) {
sym.play("label");
}
I put the above code in the Actions of Stage {} and use the Keydown event and it works beautifully!
However, how can I change the actions once it is at the new location, at frame "label" ? I cannot seem to create a Keyframe in the Stage Layer, and then enter changes to the Actions code.
Or is there a way to enter this code into a button (off-stage so it is not visible) and then just create keyframes of the button with the relative navigation code ?
Am I being a neophyte and missing something obvious?
I am hoping there's a way without creating a lot of "get Variables" which cause my eyes to go "deer-in-the-headlights". :-)
