Scott, When I use a syncRate of 0, I get very close!!! However, about every second, I get a 'jerk' in the flow. It's still enough of a pest to keep me looking but the syncRate definitely helps. I have noticed that the higher the number, the worse it gets except if I move the cursor around while the text was scrolling. But this will be a standalone app so right now, 0 for syncRate is the best so far.
Thanks Scott! jim schaubeck 714-321-4499 -----Original Message----- From: use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com [mailto:use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com] On Behalf Of Scott Rossi Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2011 10:18 PM To: LiveCode Mail List Subject: Re: Livecode for Digital Signage Recently, Derek Bump - Dreamscape Software wrote: > The movement I see with this solution is the exact movement I see when > I tried your hScroll solution.

But one thing you might try is messing with the syncRate property. I only recently learned about this and haven't figured out how to best make use of it, but changing its value might get you closer to the smooth movement you're trying to achieve, at the possible expense of heavier processor use. On my Mac system, INCREASING the syncRate makes for jerkier movement, which seems to be the opposite of the docs, so you might need to try higher and lower values. ---------- syncRate Summary: Specifies how often the display is updated during visual effect, drag, and move commands. Examples: set the syncRate to 12 Use the syncRate property to specify how often the screen is redrawn. Value: The syncRate is a positive integer. Comments: Decreasing the syncRate reduces the load on the system, but may make the display of movements and visual effects more jerky. The default value of syncRate is 20. ---------- Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX Design _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
