Overview
Having navigation buttons (prev/next) only, which are represented as simple graphic shapes, may not always be enough to provide the best viewing experience. In order to improve the navigation and enrich the slide viewing, a range of navigation symbols is supporting the navigation buttons. Their visual information is represented by 10 different arrow symbols that are telling the user very clearly which action they are able to perform.
There are 10 navigation symbols available:
Navigation symbols have their own tween nodes, as usually navigation buttons do, allowing you to tween the symbol independently from the navigation button. This feature gives you an almost unlimited number of possibilities for combining, configuring, and tweening both, navigation buttons and navigation symbols.
Registration/transformation point is aligned with the object’s center point!
Include the <next_symbol> node in order to display “next” symbol in the CU3ER. Clicking on the symbol will instruct the CU3ER to perform 3D transition and to show the next defined slide in XML..
”Next” symbol may contain the following four nodes:
- <defaults />
Node containing general attributes for “next” symbol. Available attributes:: - type = "number" - see image above for available symbols
<next_symbol> <defaults type="3" /> </next_symbol>
- <tweenIn />
Transition in tween node - tweening properties for item appearance on stage: Tweening › Tween In - <tweenOut />
Transition out tween node - tweening properties for item disappearance from stage: Tweening › Tween Out - <TweenOver />
Tween node defining 'on mouse over' tween: Tweening › Tween Over
