Multiple layouts and dynamic content

[Revoluzifer]

Hey guys,
I'm new to Ventuz and wondering if I can realize a project within Ventuz.
My goals are:
Having multiple, predefined (atm 3) layouts being fed by an XML-feed.
I want to switch between those layouts and give them some parameters to define, which contents should be loaded from within the XML.

Is this basically possible with Ventuz?

Best regars,
Sven

I mean your project description is not very precise but it is defently possible to build a Ventuz scene that changes its Layout and Content based on a xml file.
There are XML nodes in Ventuz that gives the ability to parse xml files in a ventuz scene without any programming. Due to the fact that you can build your graphics and manipulate them with your own logic and realtime data in one tool it is exactly made for that purposes.

Cheers!

Yes it is definitely possible to do this in Ventuz. We did many applications like this already ranging from small to massive with hundereds of pictures and movies and XML files, all content being dynamic. For very simple and basic applications the XML nodes in Ventuz are enough. For more complex applications you should definitely use C# scripting in Ventuz and parse the XML files in there. It is faster, more flexible and uses WAY less nodes. Plus you have the advantage of having the entire .NET framework to read, parse, edit and output values - even arrays.
