Using actions to set track properties

Use the following actions to set track properties:

Track Set Enabled

Enables or disables a track, regardless of its type. You can use it, for example, to switch between two different sound tracks.

Track Set Layer

Sets the current track's layer number, specifying its front-to-back order relative to the other tracks. Choose the track from the Track menu. The Layer text box displays the selected track layer number. You can enter a number to move the selected track forward or backward. The lower the layer number, the closer to the viewer the track appears.

Track Set Matrix

Sets the dimensions of the target track. Choose the track from the Track menu. The Position and Size text boxes display the current settings. To change these settings, deselect the Action Normalizes Track option. The Constrain Proportions option maintains the aspect ratio of the settings.

Track Set Graphics Mode

Sets the graphics mode of the selected track. Choose the track from the Track menu. From the Mode menu, choose how you want the track to overlay other tracks. Click the color field next to the Mode menu and drag a color from the preview pane of the Color palette to the color field.

Track Set Sound Volume

Sets the volume for the selected track. Choose the track from the Track menu. You can set the volume level between 0 (minimum) and 255 (maximum).

Track Set Sound Balance

Sets the sound balance for the selected track. Choose the track from the Track menu. You can set the balance left, center, or right (-128 maximum left to 128 maximum right).
