I may not understand what you mean, but when I use the "drawer" command, the stack animates and slides out exactly like the ones in Apple's applications. There is a smooth glide from closed to open.
I was asked to share examples of how we simulated drawers - as it were - before the advent of the latest command. Some of the examples I mentioned or pointed to were about two years old. The specific script with the sliding effect from our sample stack you refer to was written one and a half years ago; so it anyway shows the rich potential of Metacard even without the new drawer command.
I understand now. Thanks for the explanation.
Now, with the new command, I do not get here any sliding effect. The drawer stacks simply open. Maybe there is a sliding effect, but it is not visible for me. Is there maybe another undocumented feature that can slow down the showing of the drawer as in visual effects? This is on Windows with Metacard 2.5.1B2. At the moment I do not have access to my Mac to try out, but in two days I will use it again. What platform do you have that shows this sliding effect?
The sliding animation I see is in OS X. I have always assumed it was an OS X-only effect, similar to the "as sheet" command which is also only for OS X. On other platforms, "as sheet" displays a stack as a modal stack instead. Apparently the "drawer" command does the same, and simply displays a stack on other platforms as a regular stack, though I haven't tried it on anything but OS X. You may have to continue using your handy scripts on other operating systems.
I may be wrong about this though.
