Thanks Klaus for sending me down the right path and thanks Barry for pointing me to the path's end. There's also a Custom Tab Button example.

Tabs on the tab panel are left aligned. Is there a way to align them with the right edge of the tab panel as in the second graphic?

Hi Klaus,

I now understand one of the sources of my confusion. The list of 8 color types includes bordercolor and shadowcolor, and since shadow is also a graphic effect, I made a bad assumption. I should sleep more to get my head working straight. In any case, it makes sense now.

Thanks,
Steve

Thanks again Klaus. Okay, so now I have to fully understand how graphic effects are used with images. I did a double take when I re-read this: Example: to set the bordercolor of an image you need to set the bordercolor of the STACK so it is inherited, but you cannot set it directly :? This is so un-...

Hi Klaus, I pretty much have come to the same conclusion, but wanted to try to fully understand this. I'm using overlays and transparencies to control colors. My real goal is to be able to use shadows on the images. Do you think that I should also give up on that? Any alternate suggestions would be ...

Thanks very much Klaus. That did the trick. I guess I better study up on long names and long IDs.

Thanks again SparkOut. To give context, this is just some test code so I can understand how to do a few things in my first project. That project resizes and changes the appearance of several images at different times. After finishing, it returns the images to their original size, leaving the other c...

I'm continuing a thread from the Summer Academy sub-forum, which is now locked. RIP. :( Here's the postings so far. Can Colors & Patterns from the Inspector be used with pngs? What about the associated code? The other effects in the Inspector seem to work with pngs, but I can't get Colors & Patterns...

Thanks SparkOut. I had looked at the Dictionary for command and that didn't help. Check the documentation? Me? :) Now functions and commands are making more sense. You can use "the target" to reference the origin of the message, in its various flavours, such as "the short name of the target" or "the...

I have a button that On Mousedown is supposed to start an action on an image. However, the target image changes so the function is part of the card. Syntax like myFunction(image "myImage") isn't working. How do I accomplish my goal. One thing to note - I'm not trying to return any values, so is ther...

This is helpful! Thanks. Will it also work on iOS?
