Introduction

Actions are one of the most important aspects of Yooba Studio. They are used for making different things happen, either through an interaction by the visitor, such as a click on an object, or automatically. There are many sorts of actions, where some of them are switching scene, starting and stopping a movie, downloading a file and so on. Actions are used for most interactions in a project. You set the actions via the dialogue box 'Action Settings', which is available for most types of object.

Most types of object can have an action that runs when the visitor clicks on it, but there are also objects that run their actions at other times. For example, the movie player can run an action when it has reached the end of the footage. Actions can also be run when the mouse pointer is moved over or away from an object.

Changing scene

One of the most common types of action is for navigating between all the different scenes in a project:

1. Select the object you want to use. Note the dialogue box Action Settings.
2. Click on Add Click Action and choose Scene Actions and Go to Scene 2 (or any other scene you have in your project).
3. Now when the user clicks on the object, the chosen scene will be shown.

All actions mostly works the same way: you select the object you want to trigger the action from, you select an action from the pop-out menu and finally make settings for the selected action.

Several actions can be set and will run at once.

Sub scene Actions

Navigation between sub scenes is the same way as between regular scenes, but with the Sub scene Actions instead of Scene Actions. A sub scene can be shown directly by its main scene, or from another scene via the main scene.
