Re: lock screen and visual effect advice needed

Phil, Try this: lock screen for visual effect in rect (the rect of image "people") -- --draw the new set of people into the same rect as the old ones, while the screen is locked -- unlock screen with visual effect "push down" Hope that helps! -Dan On May 10, 2012, at 2:03 AM, use-livecod

Re: lock screen and visual effect advice needed

Hi folks, John Dixon has answered my question - many thanks John. My key requirement is limiting the visual effect to just part of the window. In 4.6.4 that was done via the show object command, where the rect of the object specified the area of the screen that had the effect applied. With 5.0.2

Hi Phil... Use unlock screen instead of show object... lockscreen for visual effect --draw the new set of people into the same rect as the old ones, while the screen is locked unlock screen with push down > From: p...@liverpool.ac.uk > Subject: lock screen and visual effect advice needed >
