Creating a teaser animation


To create a teaser animation:
  1. Create a small teaser World and a larger World.
  2. In the larger World, turn off streaming for all the objects, textures, and sounds that you want to see when the larger World is first displayed. If an object's streaming is off, AXEL waits for that object to download before displaying the World. Since the teaser will be playing while the larger World is downloading, you may want to turn off streaming for all objects, textures and sounds; that way the larger World will interrupt the teaser only when everything is downloaded. Publish the larger World to create the larger stream file.
  3. In the teaser animation, choose Interaction > Download AXEL Stream.
  4. In the Download AXEL stream dialog, enter the name of the larger stream file.
  5. Select the Download AXEL Stream reaction and set the mode to Replace.
  6. Link the Download AXEL Stream reaction to a Browser Sensor / OnFinalDownload event.
  7. Publish the teaser.
  8. When the surfer downloads the teaser, the Download AXEL Stream reaction is triggered and AXEL starts downloading the larger stream file. While the web surfer is viewing and interacting with the teaser, the larger world is downloading.
