I just hadn't thought of uploading it there. All I did was find a snippet off the Web and modified it for the Rev type code, and then compiled it to a droplet: While this works great in OS 9 it fails in OS X, providing the "Nothing is selected" feedback. Hopoefully one of you AppleScript gu

Have you had a look at the 'move' command? It's at the heart of the RunRev Animation Manager, and you should be able to create a smooth movement by setting a series of points and letting the object travel along those points with a 'move' statement. Just a thought, Jan Schenkel. Yes Jan, the mov

Hi Roger, I'm not quite sure what it is you are trying to do. If you stop the screen from updating, you won't see your graphic move. It will appear to leap from the start position to the end. Do you want to see it follow a path, but not see anything else happen? If so, perhaps you should consi
