Moving and rezising objects

Tuesday, 12/04/2007 -- by Erik. Subject: Moving and rezising objects

Hi,

We are currently trying to make a production in scala designer 5 where we need to have more control over the objects in the script.

As it is today it seems as if we can only move objects in or out of the screen.

Is there a way to move an object to a specific coordinate?

Is there a way to also rezise an object to a size specified by us?

Regards,

Erik

The ScalaScript programming language does allow for some manipulation--the size of an element is something that is trivial to script. However movement is restricted to what can be accomplished via "wipes"--e.g. one could use a particular "Fly-on" wipe to get an element to a specific coordinate. There are some particularly clever "Games" that have been written in Scala Script that use this technique.

So there is no way after an object is displayed in the script for us to MOVE it to another coordinate?

Or set a target size which it could resize to?

Cut wipes and clever use of Fly-on wipes will provide the illusion of what I think you think that you want to achieve.

You really need to work with more experienced Scala scripting guys who have a library of some of the older demos--check with your reseller to see if he has some of the old MM100 and MM200 script collections. [esp. some of the Games--there was a version of "Soliataire" that was rather clever]

The Scala Website requires that JavaScript (Active Scripting) be enabled.

Please go to Tools, Internet Options under the Menus. Select the Security Tab, then Custom Level button. Then click the Enable button under Scripting / Active Scripting. Hit OK, then OK again to exit requestors. You will know it's working when you see a "More" link in the links beneath the Tabs.

You can still use the website without changing this setting, but certain features will be disabled.
