Chapter 4 – Making a Presentation Interactive
Media List
By default, each time an item transitions to a Media List, the next file in the list will play and exit the list after a timeout
(images) or when the file finishes playing (video and audio). Alternatively, you can set the list to shuffle files or cycle
through every file in the list before exiting and transitioning to the next state.
You can edit properties of your Media Lists under File > Presentation Properties > Media List. See Chapter 11 >
Presentation Properties for details.
After you set your zone to Interactive and drag a Media List icon into the playlist area, the List window will automatically
open. Here you can set the following parameters for your List:
• Media list name: Create a unique name for the list.
• Set as initial state: Check this box to make the list your Home Screen.
• Advance to next item on media end event: Check this box to set the list to cycle to the next file in the list after a
timeout or media end event. If you leave this box unchecked, the list will play one file each time it is transitioned to
and select the next file in the list upon subsequent transitions.
Note: If you are creating an Image List, this parameter will say Advance to next item on Image Timeout instead.
• Image Timeout (seconds): This option is only available if you are creating an Image List. You can specify the
length of time each image remains on screen. You can also use decimal values to specify the image timeout in
milliseconds (for example, 1.500 = 1500msec).
• Play from beginning on entry to state: Check this box to set the list to play from the beginning upon entry into
the list. This box is only enabled if you have checked the above Advance to next item on media end event. If you
leave this box unchecked, subsequent transitions to the list will play the next file in the cycle after a user exits the
list (for example, by using a command).
