Thanks for the re-assurance and, that's a relief, that its a simple solution...
Are you working in LC8 dp 16? BUT: What's happening here is: I'm getting some serious rendering issues. Your stack opens fine and I could see the lovely roundrect grc mask... then as soon as I touch anything we get this kind of behavior http://wiki.hindu.org/screenshots/IDE-rendering-ssues.jpg If I save the stack the whole effect is lost. Thinking this is a temporary rendering issue, I saved, quit and reboot LC but then we get this: http://wiki.hindu.org/screenshots/round-corner-after-save.jpg And the group, inks etc. are all corrupted in the saved stack... at least here on my mac. What version of LC are you working in? I thought dp16 was stable enough to work in, and I want to pitch in on the beta testing so that LC team could get as much feedback on 16 as I could provide, but now I have to get real work done, so i think I need to step back from this bleeding edge... DP15 was actually pretty stable. What are you using? Can anyone else test this please? Open Scotts stack in LC8 DP16 go url "http://tactilemedia.com/download/RoundCornerSample.livecode" then set the selectGroupedControls to True, choose the selection tool and move the graphic mask around...does everything stay OK? If the problem can be duplicated elsewhere... I will bug it.... actually I bugged it anyway http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17247 BR On March 27, 2016 at 4:12:58 PM, Scott Rossi (sc...@tactilemedia.com<mailto:sc...@tactilemedia.com>) wrote: An oval is the same as a roundRect, just with larger radii. The technique doesn't "fail" as shown in the demo stack, so yes, you may indeed be missing something. Make sure you have the inks applied properly.
