animation flickers

Post by stevex64 » Mon May 01, 2006 4:01 am

I have an black object, about 1/2 inch high by 1 inch wide. On a layer above that I have an image the color of the background. Its right edge is aligned with the right edge of the black object. There are two buttons you click that increase or decrease the width of the background colored object. The visual effect of this is to increase or decrease the width of the black object(don't ask, it seems counterintuitive but there is a reason). As I click the buttons, there is a very brief but noticeable flicker, as opposed to the simple, unspectacular animation I expected. Any ideas?

Hi,

you might try to lock screen before you execute your handler...

Code: Select all

lock screen
--rest of your handler goes here
unlock screen
Hope that helps,

Malte

On Windows, sometimes it seems the lock screen does not take and I am in the habit of putting two lock screens in a row like:
lock screen
lock screen
...
unlock screen
