help-dvdsp2 question

[stretchweider]

i've got 5 mp2 clips exported from fcp-all encoded exact same.
i've got 2 menus in dvdsp2-main menu with "play all" + "chapters" buttons
-chapters menu with 5 buttons(1 for each clip)
and a "main menu" button.
i need to know how to assign clips so that "play all" plays the clips in a specific order while the chapters buttons play their assigned clips.
no doubt its easy but i aint got a clue.total size of clips is 3.5 GB.
thanks

Playing All Tracks
For this script, the project has four tracks, each with a button on the main menu to
start it playing. You want to add a Play All button that will play all four tracks in order,
returning to the main menu once they have finished. In this case, you will create five
scripts—one that starts the Play All progress and one for each track that determines
whether a Play All function is active.
The Play All script places a value in a GPRM that will indicate to the other scripts that a
Play All function is in process. It then jumps to the first track and starts it playing.
The other scripts are linked to each track’s End Jump settings. These scripts test to see if
the Play All function is active. If it is, the script jumps to the next track. If not, the script
jumps back to the main menu.
For this script, you’ll call the tracks “Ocean,” “Beach,” “Trail,” and “Shopping.”
The Play All Script
This is the script you will link to the main menu’s Play All button.
To create the Play All script:
1 Do one of the following:
• Choose Project > Add to Project > Script.
• Click Add Script in the toolbar.
• Press Command-’ (single quote).
2 Double-click the new script in the Outline or Graphical tab.
The Script Editor opens and the Script Inspector appears.
3 In the Script Inspector, name the script Play All.
4 In the Script Editor, select the first command line (Nop).
The Script Command Inspector appears.
5 In the Script Command Inspector, choose Set GPRM as the command.
6 To configure the set GPRM command:
• Choose “mov” as the Operation.
• Choose Immediate as the Source Type.
• Enter 1 as the Source Value.
• Choose GPRM 0 as the Target.
The above settings place the value 1 in GPRM 0. It is this value that will be looked at by
the other scripts to determine whether a Play All function is in progress.
7 In the Script Editor, click the Add button.
A second command line is added to the script.
8 In the Script Command Inspector, choose Jump as the command.
9 To configure the jump command, choose Tracks and Stories > Ocean > Marker 1 from
the Jump To pop-up menu. This plays the first of the four tracks.
Note: Remember that the Ocean track is fictitious. Unless you created a track called
Ocean, you won’t see it in this pop-up menu.
Link this script to the main menu’s Play All button. See “Setting a Button’s Connection”
on page 234 for more information.
