Fade effect for a Field
Hi all, I want to make a field displaying some status text (Record saved) that fades from invisible to visible, stays for a few seconds and then fades out again. I have seen that there seems to be a way to do this with groups, but could I also do it with a single field?

Hi. Easy. Check out the blendLevel property in the dictionary.

Hi Pascal, You need this: on fadeControl theLongID repeat with x = 100 down to 0 with messages set the blendLevel of theLongID to x wait 1 millisec with messages end repeat wait 2 seconds with messages repeat with x = 0 to 100 with messages set the blendLevel of theLongID to x wait 1 millisec with messages end repeat end fadeControl usage: fadeControl the long id of fld 1 There are many ways to write the same script. You can adjust it to simply use the number of a field and you can increase the waiting time. You could even use steps to reduce the waiting time, but then you'd have a less smooth effect. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Installer Maker for LiveCode: http://qery.us/468 Buy my new book Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner http://qery.us/3fi LiveCode on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/runrev/ On 5/16/2014 14:38, Pascal Lehner wrote: Hi all, I want to make a field displaying some status text (Record saved) that fades from invisible to visible, stays for a few seconds and then fades out again.

Re: Fade effect for a Field
Hi all, Thanks for the quick answers. I will give them a try. I just found another solution that seems even smaller but less configurable. hide field id 1012 with dissolve show field id 1012 with dissolve Here: https://sites.google.com/a/pgcps.org/livecode/home/disappearing-objects Now I just need to set it up in a way that it doesn't stop the rest of the work that is being done in the background Have a great weekend, Pascal 2014-05-16 14:46 GMT+02:00 Mark Schonewille m.schonewi...@economy-x-talk.com: Hi Pascal, You need this: on fadeControl theLongID repeat with x = 100 down to 0 with messages set the blendLevel of theLongID to x wait 1 millisec with messages end repeat wait 2 seconds with messages repeat with x = 0 to 100 with messages set the blendLevel of theLongID to x wait 1 millisec with messages end repeat end fadeControl usage: fadeControl the long id of fld 1 There are many ways to write the same script.
