Visual Effects not working.

I am trying to use a push visual effect to transition between cards but it only works once. If I hit the button more than once it only uses the effect the first time. Here is my code:
Code: Select all
on About
lock screen
visual effect push up
go to stack "About"
unlock screen
end About
on BackToMenu
lock screen
visual effect push down
go to card "MainScreen" of stack "Card Shark"
unlock screen
end BackToMenu

Hi....
I think that the problem here is that the visual effects are for transition between cards, not stacks. There is a way around this. I created two stacks of the same size... 'About' and 'Shark'...
In button on a card in stack 'shark', I placed :-
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
visual effect dissolve
go stack "about" in the window of stack "shark"
end mouseUp
and in a button on a card in stack 'About' :-
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
visual effect dissolve
go stack "shark" in the window of stack "about"
end mouseUp
I just switched the stack names around...
be well

Hi DAn,
yes, Dixie is right, "visaual effect" will only work in one window!
AND please leave out the "lock/unlock screen" lines or you will NOT see any effect

Hi
I thought I'd mention that if you do need to use 'lock screen' then you can 'unlock' the screen with a visual effect e.g.
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
lock screen
//do stuff
unlock screen with visual effect dissolve
end mouseUp
Regards
Bill

I'm getting script errors when i try use visual effects. The scripts refuse to compile with the error "compilation error at line 2 (Expression: unquoted literal), char 10"
What gives?

Hahaha I guess not. Fixed it anyway - apparently you need to put quotes around the actual effect name. The documentation doesn't mention that...

You shouldn't need quotes around the names of visusl effects!
Please post your code, if possible!
