DirectX Media SDK DirectAnimation Tutorial

Load the Images and Specify the Labels

set the URL bases for importing the media

URL mediaBase = getImportBase();
URL imgBase = buildURL(mediaBase,"image/");
URL sndBase = buildURL(mediaBase,"sound/");
URL geoBase = buildURL(mediaBase,"geometry/");

a [-1, 1] square in X and Y with [0, 1] texture coordinates for both of its faces.

GeometryBvr square =

importGeometry(buildURL(geoBase, "square.x"));

import a list of images, some of these images could have been .gif images

ImageBvr pics[] = {

importImage(buildURL(imgBase, "phantom.jpg")),
importImage(buildURL(imgBase, "hiddenBeachSS.jpg")),
importImage(buildURL(imgBase, "hiddenBeachSG.jpg")),
importImage(buildURL(imgBase, "jotunheimen1.jpg")),
importImage(buildURL(imgBase, "redWoodCar.jpg")),
importImage(buildURL(imgBase, "wenatcheeCascades.jpg")),
importImage(buildURL(imgBase, "tulipsHol1.jpg")),
importImage(buildURL(imgBase, "tulipsHol2.jpg")),
importImage(buildURL(imgBase, "yosemiteCreek.jpg")),
importImage(buildURL(imgBase, "kidsUtah.jpg")),
importImage(buildURL(imgBase, "foliageUtah.jpg"))};

construct a corresponding array of behaviors

ArrayBvr pictures = new ArrayBvr(pics);

ditto for corresponding labels

StringBvr lbls[] = {

toBvr("Phantom Is., Crater Lk., Oregon"),
toBvr("Hidden Beach, Klamath, California"),
toBvr("Hidden Beach, Klamath, California"),
toBvr("Jotenheimen, Norway"),
toBvr("Redwoods N.P., California"),
toBvr("Wenatchee, Cascades, Washington"),
toBvr("Tulip Garden, Holland"),
toBvr("Tulip Garden, Holland"),
toBvr("Yosemite, California"),
toBvr("Centerville, Utah"),
toBvr("Bountiful, Utah")};

ArrayBvr lables = new ArrayBvr(lbls);

Construct a NumberBvr counter object, and use it as an interactive index to select a picture and a corresponding lable.

NumberBvr numPics = lables.length();
NumberBvr index = (NumberBvr) (new Counter(numPics)).getBvr().runOnce();
ImageBvr picture = (ImageBvr) pictures.nth(index);
StringBvr lable = (StringBvr) lables.nth(index);
