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 symbol’s center point!

Include the node in order to display “previous” symbol in the CU3ER. Clicking on the symbol will instruct the CU3ER to perform 3D transition and to show the previous defined slide in XML.

”Previous” symbol may become disabled when you are seeing the first slide before the last one is fully loaded. The CU3ER will set its alpha property to 0.15 and make the button non-clickable until the last slide has been loaded.

”Previous” symbol may contain the following four nodes:

<defaults />
Node containing general attributes for “prev” symbol. Available attributes::

type = "number" - see image above for available symbols types

<prev_symbol>
    <defaults type="5" />
</prev_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
