Timing visual effects

Hi,

Me again. Still a beginner and still trying to create my eComic with Livecode. Now, I have questions about visual effects. I am looking for an effect as close as possible to the turning of a page, and the wipe right/wipe left effects seem fine. I am planning to deploy the app in as many mobile platforms as possible, so I guess I will have to stick to Livecode's internal effects. But is there a way to make them go faster? The Very Fast option isn't fast enough. I want the effects to be there, but not to impede reading. Is there an option faster than Very Fast?

Hi Glyphs,

you CAN control visual effects, but this is a tad semantically challenging :D
Set "the effectrate" to any amount of milliseconds to control the speed of
the "very slow" visual effect! Well... :D :D :D

Example for a 500 millisecond transistion:
...
set the effectrate to 500
visual barndoor open VERY SLOW
go next card
## Should take (more or less) exactly 500 milliseconds :-)
...

Best
