I think you're making this too hard. :-) Create an image object. Use the paint bucket to fill it with a color. Set its transparency, and size it over a group. Hide and show it as needed. This will create a sort of tinted overlay that allows the original group to show through but will blo

Re: Usng an image to "disable" a group

I¹m with Scott. A similar approach I sometimes use is to chuck a plain graphic object (black or other colour) over the group and adjust its opacity to give the desired effect. It¹s then just a matter of hiding or showing the graphic, which is no more difficult the enabling or disabling the group.

Hi Scott, Yes, it's a little difficult to explain. Basically I'm trying to block access to groups on a card until allowed by script. Right now, I do it by disabling/enabling the groups when appropriate. That works just fine but I was trying to find a better way to visually indicate that a group i

Replace First Occurrence of a Substring in a String
