IBMAnchorActivate

IBMAnchorActivate.mp4

Description

The IBM AnchorActivate is similar to the IBMAnchor test case and likewise contains two mp4 files, IBMAnchorActivate and IBMAnchorActivate1. Also like the IBMAnchor test case each file has an Anchor node that links it to the other; the Anchor containing the rectangle and the circle respectively in each file.

The presentations both dynamically update the scene and the Anchor can be clicked at any time. However IBMAnchorActivate will automatically goto IBMAnchorActivate1 after 5s when it uses a BIFS update to set the activate field on the Anchor to true. For IBMAnchorActivate1 a TimeSensor is inserted into the scene at 11s and that is used to drive a 'countdown' and to set the activate in the Anchor to jump back to IBMAnchorActivate file. So left alone the playback will toggle between the files automatically when the activate field on the Anchor is set (at 5s and 16s respectively for the files). Manually clicking the Anchor will also cause the jump to the other file. This test case shows how the Anchor can be activated from the BIFS stream and from within the scene respectively.
