Play Scene and Stop Scene

The Play Scene and Stop Scene actions let you manage the playback of single-scene or multiple- scene animations created in the DHTML Timeline Editor. You can control multiple-scene animations dynamically by creating timeline-triggered Play Scene and Stop Scene actions or let the viewer control scene playback when they click buttons on the page.

Make sure the page has one or more scenes in it before you create the Play Scene or Stop Scene action. Trigger the action with a user-triggered or timeline-triggered event. Choose Action > Multimedia > Play Scene or Stop Scene. Inserting a Stop Scene action is a good practice before inserting a Play Scene action; it stops any other animation that may still be playing when the viewer clicks the Play button. To set up a Stop Scene action or Play Scene action, choose the scene you want the browser to stop or play back from the Scene pop-up menu.
