For animation, I switched from cards to moving objects around on the same single card of a one card stack.
I would like to print a series of individual "frames". Maybe creating cards on the fly, printing the cards then deleting them?
Four screens to a page would be about right. That worked well with cards.

TIA

Hi Eric,

There are several ways to do this. For now, let's assume you use the printer settings to print 4 pages on 1 sheet. You can print 4 cards this way:

Code: Select all

open printing with dialog
if the result is empty then
  repeat with x = 1 to 4
    doYourAnimation x
    wait 0 millisecs with messages
    print this cd
  end repeat
end if

The wait command may be unnecessary, but I've added it to give the GUI time to redraw. I assume that the handler that does the animation is called doYourAnimation and the parameter x would allow you to do different animations depending on the number of times the script has been executed already.

Kind regards,

Mark
