I Need Help Please

Widgets

I dont know to explain this so im just going to do my best. How do you make a screen that slides out from behind another screen, like the options menu in omni weather (torword the bottom). Thats the best I can explain it. I have looked at the scripts of a bunch of widgets that do this but cant understand. Please help ive been pulling my hair out for the last 6 months.

Thanks

You have a few options.

If the graphic is one ready for "stretching" you can set borders in the advanced panel, then write a script that will make it grow from 1 pixel to more in the dimension(s) you want.

You can also have an object the size of the exposed panel, but with no graphic assigned. Set your image object as a child of the frame object, then move it via script from outside the area defined into the area defined. Meaning, say Object.Top = -128 changes to Object.Top = 0 through 16 8-pixel steps.

If the main graphic that you want to slide out from is large enough, you can simply hide your panel behind it, and move it out from under.

I think your best solution will depend on your particular needs.

Thats what i want but i dont want it to just toggle in or out, i would like it to slide in and out from behind the main graphic. Is there a script that can do this or is there an option. Thansk again.

OK. Here's a sample dxpack to look at. Don't get used to me writing scripts for you though--I just happened to be in the mood.

Take note of Parent/Non-Child relationship, grouping, etc.
