Hi,
I tested scrolling text banner (check the link). It seems that no other commands is working until text moving is done.
Can it be possible doing other command while text is moving?

Hi Louis,
Try this;
Code: Select all
wait 6 ticks with messages ## 1/10th of a second

Hi Simon,
I tried it but that is not exactly I wanted..The text stops when I send other commands.. is it possible to make text move without stops while execution of other commands?
Cheers,
Louis

How about this;
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune..." into me
if me <> empty then
send deleteText to me in 6
end if
end mouseUp
on deleteText
delete first character of me
end deleteText
Better?

Hi Simon,
There are one banner field and one button "move".
If you click button "move" while banner field is working, button waits until banner field finishes command. I like to make the move button "move" regardless of working of the banner field.
Thanks!

Hi Louis,
I think you should post your stack so I don't have to guess at what you are trying to do.

Hi Simon,
This forum doesn't allow me attach the stack. it says "The extention livecode is not allowed"
I was thinking too complicated. I think I can achieve effect I wanted with your first suggestion. Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
Louis

Hi Louis,
Glad you got it working.
For the future, you have to zip your .livecode to post it here.

Here is a scrolling banner example stack (build in livecode 8 ) for anyone who is interested.
I am scrolling text in the title widget.
Have fun with it

Found an alternative (easy?) way to make a ticker tape by using a browser widget and some html code.
This also opens many other ways to show text (left right up down ect....) as long as it is possible in html.
See attached example stack. (PS. I develop on windows 10 so check the code if you are not on windows)
Here are sites you can get the html code from. There are many more if you search the internet
https://www.quackit.com/html/html_gener ... erator.cfm
https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_loader.asp
Advantages:
- Nonblocking meaning it does not intervene with anything the user does in the stack or card. It just keeps running without noticeable effect on the User Interface.
- You can use HTML formatting to make the text look special.
- Made a busy spinner with it...
- Disadvantagec (as I see it):
- Takes more space than a regulair livecode field.
- Need to generate a local file as an URL for the browser.
Have fun with experimenting....
regards,
Paul
