[X3D-Public] Internal and External Scripting

[Joe D Williams]

Thanks Don,
I will fix the links.
Please feedback on these general examples.

"INTERNAL"

http://www.hypermultimedia.com/x3d/URLTests/

These examples examples are "Internal' Script tests to show x3d and
x3dv files clicked directly or included in a web page.

Lots of variation is due to how the x3d browsers and the html browsers
handle the mime.

The purpose is to show the X3D Script node changing a URL for and
inline, a texture, or a sound that results in a change in the scene.
The examples all employ a ROUTEd input event.

<ROUTE fromNode='NextSensor' fromField='isActive'
       toNode='LoadNewURL'   toField='znext'/>
<ROUTE fromNode='LoadNewURL' fromField='newurl'
       toNode='MainScene'    toField='url'/>


The variations either change the URL by sending a routed event, or by
changing it directly by USEing the node in the script.

 <Inline USE='MainScene'/>

in the Script node declarations along with:

<ROUTE fromNode='NextSensor' fromField='isActive'
       toNode='LoadNewURL'   toField='znext'/>


These "Internal" examples, especially the .x3d (xml) versions work
everywhere I have tested.


"EXTERNAL"

The "Ajax" examples give a shot at working in the DOM where the SAI is
exchanging events with the host DOM of an html wegb browser.

http://www.hypermultimedia.com/ajax3d/index.htm#Start

Please notice that Example0 just gets a scene going.

Example 1 sends an event from the DOM to the SAI.
from DOM, sets up SAI listener then sends events from DOM to SAI

Example 2 sends an event from the SAI to the DOM

http://www.hypermultimedia.com/ajax3d/E2.htm

from SAI, sets up DOM listener then sends events from SAI to DOM

http://www.hypermultimedia.com/ajax3d/AJAX3Dlogo2.x3d
is still one of my favorites.

Example 3 adds XHR (Ajax)
uses 2 plus 3 plus adds Ajax to go get remote file that is added to
the scene.

I will work with you to get these showable. Not sure now why they fail
if they do but should only require small DOM/SAI code changes to work
as expected.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Joe
