Creating Objects in Groups

2000-10-27 Thread Peter Reid

I'm trying to create objects in a vertical scrolling group using 
scripting.  I'm attempting to reproduce behaviour somewhat like a 
browser, so that a series of constant sized images layout in a set of 
rows and columns (a bit like laying playing cards).  Because there 
are a variable number of images, I need these to be created in a 
group with a vertical scroll bar, so the user can scroll down to 
those images off screen.

What's working OK - I can create these images within a group and name 
them uniquely.  Also, I seem to be able to generate the right 
sequence of topLeft coordinates for positioning of each image in a 
grid pattern.

What's NOT working - even though the topLeft coordinates look 
sensible, the images are being located all over the place!  Clearly, 
my topLeft coordinates are not correct in these circumstances, even 
though they look correct as if I were placing the images on a large 
static piece of paper.

Can anyone explain how the coordinates work within a group that can scroll??

Thanks
Peter

wait for messages

2000-10-27 Thread Dave Cragg

Hi all

I'm intrigued with the new "wait for messages" command in 2.3.2 beta. 
So far I can't figure out how it works. Can anyone enlighten me? 
Scott?

By the way, I just read we can now relayer objects in groups through 
scripts. I haven't checked it out, but if it does what it says, a big 
thank you to Scott  Co.

Concerning the new list setup .. Kevin, are you there? I seem to be 
stuck in digest mode, and  can only find the instructions on xworlds 
for the majordomo listserver. How do we change from digest to 
individual messages?

Cheers
Dave Cragg

See if this gets you started:

on mouseUp
  repeat with i = 1 to 100
put i
wait for messages
  end repeat
end mouseUp

on mouseMove
  put x,y
end mouseMove

You need to set the relayerGroupedControls global to true - at which time
grouped objects can also be moved into and out of groups by changing their
layer.

Oops - forgot to update that when we changed the software, its correct now.

Re: script editor

2000-10-27 Thread andu



I dont know how many of you think similarly but i really have a problem with
the script windows not showing up in the windows task bar. 
this brings up various issues or challenges to avoid the p word...

Im forced to hide all my windows each time... 
or re-edit the group... or what's worse, 
my metaframe windows usually go bananas when you reduce them...
if I reedit a script, will it overide a previously opened window and it's
changes?
in brief, im loosing major amounts of time just to edit scripts or find the
window again... does anyone have any solutions for this?

Sounds like the OS doesn't handle modeless windows in the task bar. Close the script
editor window when you are done editing (so you don't have to "loose" it) or use a 
better
OS.  

BTW, it looks like some kids in Russia just got hold of MS's codes (cracked into MS
network) lately so chances are they fixed all that was wrong for such a long time with
Windows ;-))) Why else would they do it?

Now the trick will be to convince all Windows users around the world to
install the fixed system.  [sigh] Never gonna happen...
