Klaus. I never use visual effects, though I played with them a lot in about 1988. They are “blocking” in some sense, so I think you are beat served by losing them entirely in your planning. Craig > On May 3, 2023, at 2:59 PM, Klaus major-k via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi Jim, > >> Am

Klaus. That was fun. Oh yes, the point of this thread. To me it seems that preOpenCard is sent before, and openCard is sent after the effect terminates. The fact that you have 0 and 3 ticks is no different than having 0 and 125 ticks, The speed of the visual effect is not pertinent. Well,

Klaus. It is a works-much-better thing. Script samples and quotes can be separated from the main body of text. One can attach stacks and, for Richmond at least, silly photos and art layouts. One can edit past posts, or even delete them. One can search threads in many ways. MANY. I was going

Klaus. I would guess that as soon as the card was navigated to, that is, before any visual effect starts or finishes. Not sure how to test this since I am not sure what messages or properties might be set before, during or after a visual effect runs. Craig > On May 2, 2023, at 9:06 AM, Klaus
