Bernd, All of the graphics effects are already arrays, and like any array, you can set any individual key of that array. For example -

Code: Select all

set the outerGlow["color"] of button 1 to "red"
works just as well as putting a whole new array together :wink:
Thanks bogs, I always used arrays, but that is a good way to set individual properties.

Kind regards
Bernd

Glad if it helps. I also want to make sure you understand I don't think there is anything wrong (with) creating your own arrays to do the same, but if you only need to change 1 setting, say 5 times, it is a lot less typing to just set it directly :wink:

Then when I tried to set the borderColor on the image, it didn't show (even with threeD set to false).
Please don't shoot the messenger, but to set/change the bordercolor of an image,
you need to set the bordercolor of the CARD the image is on. :?
Actually, not so much, but you do need the 3d set to 'true', not false. "At least in 6.5.2" or "YMMV in newer versions"
North (and south) of the border...

Dunno about that; certainly NOT round these parts (MacOS 10.14.6, LiveCode 9.5.0):

I'll be happy to amend that to "at least in 6.5.2" or "YMMV in newer versions" :wink:

"at least in 6.5.2"
Why do I have a feeling that 6.5.2 is not really relevant round these parts any longer?

However, I do deploy 6.5.1 on a couple of iMac G5s I have running MacOS 10.4 and 10.5. 8)

Oh I dunno, I think in a thread that started 10 years ago, it could still be considered relevant :P

Surely only relevant to retro types . . .
