Build your own sequencer shockwave with sequenceXtra and sequenceXtra behaviors

Add sequenceXtra to this movie

  1. Select Modify>Movie>Xtras
  2. Add sequenceXtra to the list
  3. Make sure that Include in Projector is deselected and Download if needed is selected

Add some basic behaviors

  1. Open the Library Palette
  2. Open the Submenu "Navigation" in the Library Palette
  3. Drag the behavior "Hold On Current Frame" to the script channel in frame 1 in the score
    This makes Director stop in the first frame (where all the graphics are)
  4. Now open the Submenu "SequenceXtra" in the Library Palette and select "Song Handling".
  5. Drag the behavior "Close SequenceXtra (on stop movie) to your Internal CastLib
    This is VERY important. If you skip this step, Director will crash while quitting.

MIDI outputs

Different systems has different MIDI outputs. One output can be the WaveTable synth on your sound card, another can be a soft synth or a MIDI driver for your synth module. By default, sequenceXtra will select the MIDI outport selected in the Multimedia Settings on your computer, but you should always give the end user a chance to set the output manually.

  1. Attach the behaviors "Show MIDI output" and "MIDI output Popup Menu" to sprite 43 (the field in the lower left corner). The default settings in the property inspector are OK.
