Animation Effect on Group.

Hii Guys!
I am animating a group as a visual effect and have the following code,
on Animate
hide me
show me with visual effect "dissolve" close very fast
end Animate
It works fine, it "fades" in, but I also want to "fade" it out. I have searched the relevant information in the dictionary but I am unable to find a way to fade the group out.
Any help is greatly received!
Googie.

Hi Googie85,
please use the CODE tags above after pasting your script(s):
</>
That way the formatting will be preserved, see below.
1. DISSOLVE does NOT need the extra parameter "close" or "open"!
2. Use the example in the divtionary below the one you used for hiding the image.
Code: Select all
on show_the_image
lock screen for visual effect
show image "your imagename here"
unlock screen with visual effect "dissolve" very fast
on show_the_image
This will also work for HIDEing your image, maybe get used to thie more universal syntax.
Best
Klaus

Hii Klaus,
Thanks for your informative reply! I have this:
Code: Select all
on Animate
if the visible of group "Review" = true then
lock screen for visual effect
set the visible of group "Review" to false
unlock screen with visual effect "dissolve" very fast
else
lock screen for visual effect
set the visible of group "Review" to true
unlock screen with visual effect "dissolve" very fast
end if
end Animate
I am not getting the desired result. Am I reading your reply wrong?
Thanks,
Googie.

Hi Googie,
just tested the script here with an example group named "review" and works as exspected!?
You can also save some typing:
Code: Select all
on animate
lock screen for visual effect
if the visible of group "Review" = true then
set the visible of group "Review" to false
else
set the visible of group "Review" to true
end if
unlock screen with visual effect "dissolve" very fast
end animate
Best

Great!
You could even leave out the IF THEN clause:
Code: Select all
on animate
lock screen for visual effect
set the visible of group "Review" to NOT (the visible of grp "Review")
unlock screen with visual effect "dissolve" very fast
end animate
