Button Adding a Button primitive creates a button object, which is most often
associated with the O
N C LICK event. When an operator clicks the button,
actions are executed that affect the playout’s content and/or behavior.
By default, Button primitives are configured to one state since the C HANGE
S TATE ON C LICK property is set to F ALSE (regardless of the value of the
N UMBER OF S TATES property).
[Note: Keep as F ALSE if you are using tallies.]
If you want the button to toggle between multiple states, set the C HANGE
S TATE ON C LICK property to T RUE and set the N UMBER OF S TATES property
to the number of states desired (e.g. 3 states = ready, on, off).
The S TATE property can be used to set and report the current state of the
button. Accepted values range from 0 to the number of states specified in
the N
UMBER OF S TATES property.
Text, colors and/or images can be applied to the button to help operators
identify the purpose and/or state of the button.
•
Use the T EXT , I MAGE N AME , I MAGE L OCATION and/or B ACK C OLOR
properties to edit and specify a main label, background image or
background color for the button (regardless of the button’s state).
Another method for setting the button’s background image is to drag
an image asset from the Asset Browser and drop it directly on the
button object.
• Use the I MAGE S TATES property to specify the background
image/color and text to be used for each button state. Select property
and click the
button, which displays the controls for setting the
image from an internal or XMS source, the background color and/or
the text for each state of the button.
