Thanks Tom. I might just go that route - would save me a lot of headaches! Pete lcSQL Software On Sun, Apr 14, 2013 at 3:38 PM, Thomas McGrath III wrote: > Tactile Media includes an accordion style menu on their site. > http://tmtools.tactilemedia.com/tmcontrol/themes.ht

Tactile Media includes an accordion style menu on their site. http://tmtools.tactilemedia.com/tmcontrol/themes.html# Half way down on the left. Very cool. I've used it and it works well. Tom -- Tom McGrath III http://lazyriver.on-rev.com mcgra...@mac.com On Apr 14, 2013, at 5:27 AM, Paul Magui

Re: Moving controls smoothly around the screen

OK, quick report back. I added Colin's code to Paul's stack (but left the move rate at 20 ticks) and it worked nicely but the movement was somewhat jerky. Searching around the archives, I came across some comments about the syncRate setting, so I set it to 10 and everything worked very smoothly.

All, Thanks for all the ideas. I'll try all and report back. Larry: I do need the groups to appear below the button they are associated with, not above. Pete lcSQL Software On Sun, Apr 14, 2013 at 10:28 AM, J. Landman Gay wrote: > On 4/14/13 12:19 PM, Peter Haworth wro

RE: Moving controls smoothly around the screen

Pete: Perhaps I'm missing a key detail of how you want to move things around, but I can make a group of buttons move smoothly using: * * *on mouseUp* *put the loc of group "btns" into theLoc* *add 100 to item 2 of theLoc* *move group "btns" to theLoc in 500 milliseconds* *end mouseUp*

Re: Moving controls smoothly around the screen

There is a problem I think, in that the wipe is throttled by the refresh rate of the screen, and ends up being slow even if you say "very fast". Here is a change of the second button script, where I removed the wipe, and also show the group after the showing of the button 2 list. I sped up the m

There's a trial at the store (yellow button): http://www.runrev.com/store/product/animation-engine-5/ Note that Malte said he'll open source it soon. I suggest to contact him before you buy. On 14.04.2013, at 11:27, Paul Maguire wrote: > Hi. > > My first post here - been lurking a whole 48 h

Moving controls smoothly around the screen

I have a stack with a number of buttons and groups on it,all vertically aligned. The groups are initially hidden so the screen looks like it has a series of buttons on it. When a button is clicked, I need to move all the objects underneath down to make room for the hidden group associated with th
