Bernd:
Nice widget. I thought it would be interesting to make an animated text line
display effect using this. Maybe there are better ways. I tried to get it to
turn automatically and just watch for the turnAngle, but I couldn’t get it to
start turning, from my script unless I set the turnAngle explicitly.
Any suggestions?
Bill
But, I did:
on mouseUp
showTheText "This is Bills text"
end mouseUp
local curAngle
local isTurning
on showTheText tText
set the turnAngle of widget "turnText" to 270
put 270 into curAngle
set the displayText of widget "turnText" to tText
--set the turnSpeed of widget "turnText" to 2
put TRUE into isTurning
doTheTurn
end showTheText
on doTheTurn
put the turnAngle of widget "turnText" into curAngle
if curAngle > 360 then
put false into isTurning
else
send "addTurn" to me in 0.02 seconds
end if
end doTheTurn
on addTurn
add 5 to curAngle
set the turnAngle of widget "turnText" to curAngle
if isTurning then
doTheTurn
end if
end addTurn
