VBScript Templates

The VBScript template samples are in the DXMedia\Samples\Multimedia\DAnim\VBScript\Templates folder. The following table lists the available VBScript templates and the concepts that they illustrate (click any link to display the sample).

VBScript template name	Description
HelloWorldVBS.html	The HelloWorld VBScript sample demonstrates basic text animation as a windowless control.
Basic.html	The Basic VBScript sample demonstrates a simple animation (rotating oval) using the core DirectAnimation library. This is useful as a starting point for writing new content.
BasicDS.html	The BasicDS VBScript sample is the same animation as Basic but written using the drawing surface API, which has a slightly different style.
SplineLogo.html	The SplineLogo VBScript sample demonstrates a spline that is used both as a boundary of a shape and as an animation path.
Callback.html	The Callback VBScript sample demonstrates how to use a scripting callback with two buttons and a piece of HTML text. Pressing the buttons animates the buttons in 3-D, emits a sound, and moves the HTML text in the direction the button indicates.
AnimatedProperties.html	The AnimatedProperties VBScript sample demonstrates animated strings, numbers, and script callbacks.
Movie.html	The Movie VBScript sample demonstrates how to play a movie.
ButtonSwitch.html	The ButtonSwitch VBScript sample demonstrates how to use modifiable behaviors and buttons.
ScrollSwitch.html	The ScrollSwitch VBScript sample demonstrates how to use modifiable behaviors and scroll bars.
AudioMixing.html	The AudioMixing VBScript sample demonstrates how to mix audio. The volume and panning of three sounds are controlled by the positions of the scroll bars. You must have Internet Explorer 5 to run this sample.

VBScript Showcase Samples

The VBScript showcase samples are in the DXMedia\Samples\Multimedia\DAnim\VBScript\Showcase folder. The following table lists the available VBScript showcase samples and the concepts that they illustrate (click any link to display the sample).

VBScript showcase name	Description
Curves.html	The Curves VBScript sample demonstrates time-varying cubic B-spline curves that are used to clip an image whose opacity is also time-varying. The end result is a windowless control on top of HTML text.
Runners.html	The Runners VBScript sample demonstrates instantiating and sequencing two structured graphics models.
Coffee.html	The Coffee VBScript sample demonstrates how to use montages (2.5-D images).
Pick3.html	The Pick3 VBScript sample demonstrates animated and interactive 3-D .x models rendered as windowless controls over the HTML page.
Clock.html	The Clock VBScript sample demonstrates time-accurate animation of a clock with a radially filled background.
MsCubes.html	The MsCubes VBScript sample constructs 3-D animated cubes with motion GIF texturing. A mouse click stops and starts one aspect of the animation.
DancingTrapzoids.html	The DancingTrapzoids VBScript sample shows rectangles with time-varying colors that chase each other along a trajectory.
