Default Linking to a video or screen capture

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if it is possible (and easy) to have a video play on an event. Let's say you want to click a button to add an operator to a process path, but in order to do that, you need to watch a video first. The video would be a real situation where we request additional head count, plus a screen capture of making sure the individual is set up in the system correctly. This would be used for training purposes--to show the real world example of the simulated activity.

Is this doable using code+gui+triggers?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,

if you don't need the video as an internal function, you can start any external program from the system by the command "runprogram(string of path and program name)". Please look in the manual for further hints. Then you start a media player to show a video.
Further on you can look for search strings like "player, media or video" in the commands manual of Flexsim. Perhaps you find then "wmp( ...)".

Jörg
