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 the button to be displayed. Also have the same situation (but in reverse) when a button is clicked and its group is already visible. In that case, I need to hide the group and slide all the objects under it up to fill the gap. I use the "show group ... with visual effect" command to smoothly reveal the group (hide group... with visual effect to hide it) but I'm stuck on how to move the other objects in an equally smooth way. Ideally, I'd like them to move in lock step with the group. I've tried various forms of the move command and settings of the lockMove property but can't seem to get it to work, probably because I'm not understanding all the options. After the group is shown/hidden, the rest of the objects just snap to their new positions rather than move smoothly. It's almost like I need the move command to have a "with visual effect" option. I have a horrible feeling this is going to involve a bunch of repeat loops to move objects around in small increments at specified intervals but clinging to the hope the there might be anLC built-in way to do it.
