I using some scripts lately where it seems convenient to do something like this:
global gCurrentHiddenControl, gCurrentShowingControl
# then:
command fadeOutCurrentControl pSpeed
put (the blendlevel of control gCurrentShowingControl) +1 into tLevel
set the blendlevel of control gCurrentShowingControl to tLevel
if tLevel < 100 then
send fadeOutCurrentControl to this stack in pSpeed ticks
else
lastRevealDone
end if
end fadeOutCurrentControl
# OR (testing which is better… send in time or repeat loops
command revealWithBlendLevel, pSpeed,pIterations
repeat pIterations times
set the blendlevel of control gCurrentHiddenControl to pIterations
subtract 1 from pIterations
wait pSpeed milliseconds
end repeat
end revealWithBlendLevel
How much of hit on the processing time are we inducing by not specify the
control type? Is it a trivial amount of extra time? or is it seriously
impacting performance… One never knows.
OTOH… Seeing Animation Engine’s method which uses the long ID *AND* a specific
control declaration.
aeChangeRect the long ID of img "stage-1_layer-1",
tNewLocation,tMove1Speed,”out”
makes me wonder if using
control “someShortname” is maybe shooting app performance in the foot
??
