Use a single ViewMedica embed and external links to open your ViewMedica player to custom locations.

vm-single-page-openthis

Below are directions for embedding ViewMedica on a single page. You can then create links that will open that single embed to all of the animations in your personal ViewMedica library.

# 1. Create a page with the main ViewMedica embed

You can retrieve this information from your ViewMedica account at http://swarminteractive.com/vm/. After you log in click on the "Installation Support" tab. The code you want will look something like this:

------------------------------------------------------------------
<!-- ViewMedica Embed Start -->
<div id="vm"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.swarminteractive.com/js/vm.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">client="CLIENTID"; width="580"; vm_open();</script>
<!-- ViewMedica Embed End -->
------------------------------------------------------------------

Paste that code into your page and then keep the page's URL, we will use it in a second.

# 2. Create links to the page with a ViewMedica openthis parameter

Now you can create links to your page and use URL variables to dispatch information to the ViewMedica player. Let's say for example the page I created was http://www.example.com/viewmedica.html.

I can now go to my ViewMedica account at http://swarminteractive.com/vm/ under the Installation Support section and get the "openthis" plugin code that is needed (only animation codes will work here).

I will want to format my links like so: 

------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.example.com/viewmedica.html#vm_A_1234567
------------------------------------------------------------------

Notice that I am using the openthis part of the embed code after the #vm_. Now that link should open viewmedica to the animation as soon as the page is loaded at http://www.example.com/viewmedica.html.
