Linking objects to a data source
Creating a multi-ticker
A standard ticker shows one full data item at a time. A crawling ticker displays data items
moving from right to left, one after the other. For instructions on making your ticker crawl,
see
“Crawl and Roll objects on the scene canvas” on page 6-20 .
A multi-ticker looks and acts exactly like a ticker, except that it takes its data from more than
one data source within a single schema. This allows you to run through all data from one
and then immediately move on to the next one.
To create a multi-ticker:
1.
From the list of schema names listed at left in the D ATA M ANAGER window, click on the
one that the multi-ticker will be created from and then click the C REATE M ULTI -T ICKER
icon .
Or,
You are limited to the data sources within a single schema for multi-tickers.
Right-click on the schema from which the multi-ticker will be created. When the pop-up
menu displays, select A
DD > M ULTI -T ICKER .
This displays the D ATA S OURCE S ETTINGS dialog box.

S ETTINGS fields.
