Hi,
How I must use the visual effects with groups to show the effect only into rect of the group?
Salut,
Josep

As far as i know, that is not possible. the effects are always applied for full viewing distance. the only thing to do it, would be to create framing objects on top of the objects with the effects. Note that you can have irregular polygon graphics with holes in them, so a single graphic would probably be enough.

Visuals work on fields (in my experience so far) but not groups.

If locking the screen won't mess things up, you can do this:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
lock screen for visual effect
show group "my group"
unlock screen with visual effect dissolve
end mouseUp

Does "show group "Fred" with visual effect dissolve" not work?

Correction: Upon deleting the app from the simulator and re-loading, both the methods above work. Thank you!

Note: I noticed that if I am trying to use the "flip" effect, and I omit the word "with" then the flip takes place for the entire card, not just the image or group. So be sure to use
Code: Select all
show image "whatever" with visual effect flip right
if you are using the code in-line.
