Trigger a channel on click

Overview

New content can be put in a separate channel and then triggered to show based on some condition. In this tutorial, we let a click event on an object trigger a channel. We want to create two DISE Movies and put each in a separate layer (channel). The DISE Movie in the bottom channel will contain a button that when clicked triggers the top channel.

Step by step

In Composer

Create a new DISE Movie.
Insert an image object which will be our button.
Select the object and go to the Interactivity tab.
Click Advanced Events.
Select When object is clicked and click Add.
In the Command dropdown list, select "Start channel"
Type in "TriggeredContent" in the Channel name field.
Save the DISE Movie as "Button.disemovie".
Create a new DISE Movie.
In this DISE Movie, insert an Image Object
Save the DISE Movie as "Image.disemovie"

In Bridge

In DISE Bridge, create a new destination.
The TriggeredContent destination will have a "Main" channel.
Put the "Button.disemovie" in the Main channel.
Create a new channel by selecting Add > Add new channel in the ribbon.
Call it "TriggeredContent".
Put "Image.disemovie" in the TriggeredContent channel.
Send the destination out and play it in DISE Replay

Stop the channel

In Image.disemovie, insert an image object that will act as the "close button".
Select the object and go to the Interactivity tab.
Click Advanced Events.
Select When object is clicked and click Add.
Select "Stop channel" under Command.
Type in "TriggeredContent" in the Channel name field.

Note: Remember that a button in a DISE Movie can stop its own channel.

Send the destination out again and play it in Replay.
