  • From main menu, how do I get a button to auto start after a 30 second time delay when no buttons are chosen

    I am a former Liquid User just starting with Encore 6. I have done a bunch of searching and reading and am still having problems doing what was a pretty simple thing in Liquid.

    I have a single menu with three buttons linking to three timelines. In the flowchart the first timeline’s end action is to the 2nd timeline, the 2nd timeline end action is to the third timeline, and 3rd timeline end action is to the main menu

    I want the menu to play for 30 seconds, and then if someone has not chosen an action, I want to autostart the 1st button linking to the first timeline.

    One option: Menu duration set to 30 seconds. Menu end action timeline 1. If you don’t want it to loop when Timeline 3 returns to the menu (if the disk does not “stop” at that point), create duplicate menu (duration forever and end action “stop”), and return to that one.

    Thanks – works great – just so many tabs to get used to.

    Never mind on the duplicate menu. Just had to use the Edit dropdown menu instead of the CTRL+Copy / Ctrl Paste keys.
