Re: Visual effects - simulated sheet look
Hi Marty, Scott is too modest: he released a great stack named Ease that allows to sheet anything you want with acceleration or deceleration. I used it two years ago to sheet a kind of drawer: the effect was great and very natural. http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/ Best Regards from Paris, Eric Chatonet -- http://www.sosmartsoftware.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ Le 20 déc. 05 à 22:55, Marty Knapp a écrit : Scott Rossi wrote: 1) Don't use an effect.

Visual effects - simulated sheet look
Hey, I'm trying to simulated the OSX sheet effect for a stack that will be used on OSX and XP. I've tried a couple of visual effects that work OK on the Mac, but not the PC. My thought was to implement one solution that would work on both platforms. Here's what looks best so far on the Mac (older G4 OS 10.2.8, Rev 2.2.1): lock screen show group LoadSearch visual effect wipe down unlock screen but on my PC it seems to have no effect and my group object just pops onto the screen. (a low-end e-machines) I suppose another angle would be to move it off the visible screen and use a move command. Any suggestions?

Re: Visual effects - simulated sheet look
Marty, What about resizing (growing) the group or alternately, using revChangeWindowSize to grow a stack? Let us know if you find something that looks good. I'm a big fan of sheets... especially now that rev won't show them off screen :) -Scott Morrow Elementary Software (Now with 20% less chalk dust !) web http://elementarysoftware.com/ email [EMAIL PROTECTED] - On Dec 19, 2005, at 4:51 PM, Marty Knapp wrote: Hey, I'm trying to simulated the OSX sheet effect for a stack that will be used on OSX and XP.

Script a *real* panel (a group of controls) and move it in and out of position as needed. 2) If you really want to use an effect, you can place your content/controls in a group, position the group at the top of the card (or wherever you want your sheet to slide into), hide the group, and then try the following: show group fakeSheet with visual push down fast ...to show the group sheet style. To unsheet the group, use: hide group fakeSheet with visual push up fast While visual effects are normally applied to an entire card, using a visual effect with hide/show localizes the effect the rect of the object being hidden/shown. This is a handy technique when you don't want an effect applied to the entire card.
