With the MouseOver Node, you can do something close to what you are talking about, except that it would change your string when the mouse is over a rectangle you could place somewhere in your scene. You could have the video mapped onto a rectangle and automatically play it when the mouse is over it. You can also look into using the Keyboard node to generate events when specific keys are pressed. Whatever your event source is, you can link it to the Movie Clip node's Play method. Etienne    Report

Type your strings into the "Input" property in multiple lines. Connect a Counter Node to the "Case" property, with Begin=0.

The counter can now provide values from 0 to n-1, where n is the number of strings you have in your list. To "select" a value of the strings list by event, you'll need to nood a little trick: Place multiple "Event" nodes to your scene, one for each value.

The Increase method of the counter uses this argument to receive the value how much to increase. the previously invok    Report
