I know this isn't technically an HTML question but there didn't seem to be an appropriate forum for the question and HTML and CDF files are closely related anyway.<br />
<br />
Anyway I'm setting up an active channel for the sole purpose of having centrally controlled and dynamic screen savers on multiple client sites. However, I cannot get mutiple screen saver items to work on a single channel. While you can add mutliple ITEM references to the CDF file itself, when you select Channel Screen Saver in Desktop Properties, the screen saver will not alternate between the the pages listed in the CDF file, instead it will only display the page referenced in the first ITEM tag. I need to know if it is possible, and how, to create mutliple screen savers in a single channel that will alternate between the referenced pages when the channel screen saver is active.<br />
<br />
Currently I'm using multiple channels with a single screen saver ITEM referenced in each seperate CDF file as a work-around but that will quickly become cumbersome. So thanks in advance for any help that can be offered. I have included a copy of the CDF file below if you would like to look through it.<br />
