Rick - Do you have any experience with programming or scripting? Coming from a more "traditional" programming background, I find the JavaScript patch to be extremely useful for this sort of thing. I guess when your only tool is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail - I use JS a lot.
Others may have more clever ways of handling this (which I'd like to hear, I'm only a few weeks into QC), but I would write a JavaScript patch that keeps enable/disable and position state, and feed that position info into a billboard or sprite patch. I often use the PatchTime as a clock to drive my JavaScript. Oh, actually, check out this page - it seems to demonstrate these very concepts: http://developer.apple.com/graphicsimaging/quartz/quartzcomposerfordashboard.html -fred On Mon, Apr 26, 2010 at 5:41 PM, Rick Mann <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi.
