Re: Visual Effect and Initial Commands "disappear" on card transition

No, I can't point to a version of LiveCode where this ever worked... I was dreaming again (ha!) So... it can't be done, except by these "messy" methods you describe. I guess we will have to live without it. Too bad, as many modern UX designs call for the "cool" appearance of content like this.

Re: visual effect not working to show stack

I don't know that it has ever been possible to use a visual effect when launching a stack. Can you point to a version of LiveCode where this works? The only stack-level "effects" I've been able to manage are a dissolve-into-view effect by setting the stack's blendLevel from 100 to 0, expand/co

John: right... I did read the dictionary. but we don't want the substack being revealed to take over the window of the main stack. and, this doesn't work: on mouseUp visual effect reveal up very slowly go stack "Choose Date" in new window end mouseUp I presume, because, "new window"

Interesting. There's an example in the dictionary that specifically uses "slowly" but sounds like you can't use that any longer. At the risk of giving Ken apoplexy, you could argue that "slow" is being used as an adjective to describe the speed property of the visual effect command, not as an adv

Looks like the show and hide commands allow you to name a stack, but there's no way to specify that the stack should be modal, which is what I need. I thought about trying "go invisible stackname as modal" followed by the show command but I think the script would stop execution at the go command s

Re: Visual Effect command

One way to restrict a visual effect to a portion of the screen is to use the effect with hide/show: show grp 1 with visual push down hide grp 1 with visual push up However, this will not work with overlapping objects. You would have to make sure the affected object can be displayed independent

Re: Visual Effect command

If the new window is non-resizable you could group all the controls together and then do a loop to set the height of the new window and move the group.. I'd recommend locking the screen so you can set the topLeft of the new window and not have it bouncing all over the screen.. on mouseUp
