Re: [ widget that turns text horizontal ]
Bill, I apparently completely misunderstood what you wanted to do. here is a script that I hope is close to what you have in mind. Please watch out for line breaks in the script due to text wrapping local sTurning = false local sDegree, sAngleStep, sSizeOfText, sEndSizeOfText, sTextIncrease on mouseUp if sTurning = false then put true into sTurning put "This is Bills text" into tText put 220 into sDegree -- change to start at different angle put 3 into sAngleStep -- change to change speed put 22 into sSizeOfText -- can be higher than sEndOfText -> decreasing put 40 into sEndSizeOfText -- set this to sSizeOfText to stop size change put (sEndSizeOfText - sSizeOfText)/((360-sDegree)/sAngleStep) into sTextIncrease lock screen set the displayText of widget "turnText" to tText set the turnAngle of widget "turnText" to sDegree set the sizeOfText of widget "turnText" to sSizeOfText unlock screen send "showTheText" to me in 0 milliseconds else put false into sTurning end if end mouseUp on showTheText if sTurning then if sDegree > 360 then set the turnAngle of widget "turnText" to 360 set the sizeOfText of widget "turnText" to sEndSizeOfText put false into sTurning exit showTheText end if lock screen set the turnAngle of widget "turnText" to sDegree set the sizeOfText of widget "turnText" to trunc (sSizeOfText) unlock screen add sAngleStep to sDegree add sTextIncrease to sSizeOfText send showTheText to me in 20 milliseconds end if end showTheText change what is indicated in the comments to customize Kind regards Bernd Wprothero wrote > Bernd: > What I was thinking was like a text fly-out.

LiveCode + WP Webinar
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the LiveCode Infinity campaign. As promised, Digital Pomegranate and I are putting together the code and a presentation. We are looking for Monday June 27th @ 1:00 pm NYC time [EST] for the webinar using Google on air Hangouts. We are setting up a page on our website to host the project and we will put the code on GitHub. All details will be posted on this forum topic: http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=27400 Plus, you can post any questions or request here also. --Todd & DP Team PS...We do mostly mobile Apps, and the native text control is a pain in the butt, so we would really like the simplicity of a LC widget. There is still a feature campaign going on: https://livecode.com/project/infinite-livecode-native-field-object/ We pledged for this also as it will save time and efforts.

Re: Random? changes to textAlign
Lost it. My test stack reliably showed the problem yesterday. But... Today when I opened Livecode 8.0.1 and threw a field and a label onto a new stack and selected them, the problem was not there.

getting bogged down with the selectedObject
So; here I am mucking around with my alternative front-end and have a merry little button with this script in it: on mouseUp put fld "nname" into NN set the name of the selectedObject to NN end mouseUp which, unsurprisingly perhaps, changes the name of a selectedObject in the topStack [which is what it is meant to do].

Hi Tiemo, dgDataControl is the property you are probably looking for.

Re: [ widget that turns text horizontal ]
Bernd, Thanks. I got it. One thing about whiteboard animations I’ve seen is that the hand that is supposedly drawing on the board, for text anyway, moves so fast you can’t see whether it is actually following the text or not. At least this is true for smaller font sizes. I’ll check out the drawing stack. What would be needed for line drawings is a way to enter the line drawing, then edit it, then the hand could easily follow the lines.
