For example, you can:
Run another project
This is a special action. It can run another MBD file project
in the same window (like another page) or in a separate
window.
If the Second parameter is NEW_WINDOW, the MBD file
will be in a separate window. If the second parameter is
THIS_WINDOW the new MBD will be in the same frame û the
user will think it is just another page.
If your project has a lot of graphics, itÆs a good idea to separate pages into different MBD files.
Multimedia Builder is designed primarily for small projects û like Autorun Browsers etc. You can create bigger projects, but you have to have different pages or groups of pages in a different MBD file, otherwise the MBD file will be very large.
Do not provide a fixed path unless youÆre certain that your
application will reside in a specific directory on your
viewerÆs system.
Provide a relative path. The path is relative to the location
of the MMB player on your viewerÆs system.
Use the <SrcDir> or <SrcDrive> to tell MMB to use
the actual directory where the player will be located on your
viewerÆs system or actual drive.
To view the complete list and description of <> constants look here.
TIP:
You can change all paths to the relative paths at the end of
development using Path Replace in Project menu. During
development, you can use fixed paths just to make it run. After
you finish you can run Check & Distribute files in Project
menu and you will see a list of errors if you are using fixed
paths.
Page Actions
Only for Goto Page (Label) you have to specify
the Label of the page (example: Page 1)
External Commands can Run a program, browse the disc, jump to a web page (you need to specify http:// and URL), send an E-mail through default E-mail client ( you need to specify mail to: and the e-mail address) and much moreà
