Re: Using QT Transitions
Thanks Klaus and Ben and the others that responded to my question about QT effects. I get it now. Its funny how the simple stuff can trip a person up sometimes. Mark G. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

You don't have to put the "answer effect" in your script that runs every time. Just put it in the message box, because it only needs to be run once. >answer effect >if it is not empty then set the myCustomEffect of this stack to it Once you have the effect data, it can be placed in a custom property and can be retrieved w/o having to use "answer effect." No one needs to see the dialog again, the data is stored in myCustomEffect. Then, put this into the script you want. >visual effect (the myCustomEffect of this stack) >go card "My Card" -Ben ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I would like Card A to gradient wipe to Card B without asking the user. I'm still not getting it. :-) The dialog will NOT pop up in that case! It is the EFFECT itself that is being stored in the custom property. This way you can create a "library" of QT transitions in your stack(s) and use it whenever you like and the user will never! see the dialog, honestly! :-) Mark G.

Re: Using QT Transitions
Hi Mark, I must be missing something. The Answer Effect command will bring up the QT dialog for a user, but what if I want the Gradient Wipe transition, say, as part of my stack? The answer must be simple, but I'm not seeing it. I'm using Rev 2.0 on OS X, if that makes a difference. probably the best way to store QT transitions is to use customproperties. Like: ... answer effect set the QTgradientwipe1 of this stack to it ## or whatever name you choose ... This way it will be saved with the stack and you can use it later with: ... set the effectrate to 500 # *** visual the QTgradientwipe1 of this stack very slow ## Will take 500 millisecs now go next cd ## or whatever... ... *** Us "the effectrate" (in millisecs!) to control the "very slow" transition speed...?! Yes, it is a bit semantically challenging to understand that the "very slow" speed (see the docs for "visual") can be controlled with "the effectrate" this way ;-) Hope that helps...
