returning to same menu
by randy johnson on Aug 28, 2008 at 2:46:47 pm

I understand this must come up often but i cannot find anything that helps me ... that I can understand.
I have never tried using script before so if you are going to recommend that please tell me exactly what I need to do ... or well enough that i can find more info about it.

I have 8 menu´s and 9 movies. The 8 movies are no problem BUT 1 movie has multiple audio tracks that are accessed from each menu... I want the End jump on that movie to bring you back to the same menu you came from.

I have followed a couple tutorials doing similar things but was unable to adapt them.

Thanks,
Randy

I think the use of stories could help you here. I had a similar project in which I had one track with multiple subtitle streams. There were multiple individual menus that linked to specific subtitle streams. In order to return the viewer to the appropriate menu, having unique end jumps for each story helped achieve the function I desired.

If you want to script the end jumps that will return a viewer to the last menu viewed, here is a great article that will take you step-by-step through the process:

hope that helps

I ended up making a short script that got the job done. I tried that tutorial you linked but my results didnt work.
Thanks
