Eric - that might work, but only if the part of the screen which transitions with the visual effect does not overlap the part which remains stationary (the rect). In my case they do overlap so the snapshot idea, I believe, is the best. Thanks On 7/28/15 8:04 PM, Eric Corbett wrote: Would

I think I see what you're trying to do, and if I understand correctly, you can't do it using built-intransitions. You can restrict transitions WITHIN a specified rect or object, but not outside (in this case, the background). What transition are you using -- one of the motion-based options like

As far as I know, it's not possible to display two stacks simultaneously on either Android or iOS. Does anybody have any suggestions for a work around to this? In my case I have a stack with multiple cards which transition with visual effects as users go from card to card. I'd like to keep

Scott - the main issue is the second one you've mentioned, below, although it would be more accurate to say 'using transitions behind a fixed foreground'. I'd like for the fixed foreground to be transparent, hence the introduction of the custom window shape idea. Dr. Hawkins also suggested

What's the main issue you're trying to solve? A custom window shape or using transitions in front of a fixed background? AFAIK, you can't use the windowShape property on mobile stacks. But you might achieve the effect of one stack in front of another by moving your card-based content into

Interesting... So is the idea that if cards become groups, I can then display group after group instead of card after card, but still unlocking the screen with visual effects each time, while maintaining a second 'fixed' group on top? On 7/28/15 4:46 PM, Dr. Hawkins wrote: On Tue, Jul 28,

I'm currently using this: lock screen for visual effect go next card unlock screen with visual effect push right fast Works great, but it's the whole card. I'd like to maintain a few transparent fields and images in a fixed way in front of this so the whole transition is happening

If you're planning to hide the stationary objects during the transition, that would work, but otherwise, I don't think so. You can't use a built-in motion transition and keep objects (real or virtual) in a fixed location on the card. One thing that came to mind as another option is the updated

Understood, but then I'm still left with how to use the built-in visual effects while hiding one group and showing another and still leave the stationary fields out of the transition. On 7/28/15 6:10 PM, Dr. Hawkins wrote: On Tue, Jul 28, 2015 at 9:01 AM, Ray r...@linkit.com wrote: Dr.

Scott - I'm experimenting with this now and not having a whole lot of success, mainly due to the limitation you've mentioned here. I was hoping I could hide and show images instead of going from card to card. That might leave a field on screen independent of the transition, but I was wrong.

Would it be helpful to use lock screen for visual effect in rect tRect? If the controls you want to leave are in a header for instance, tRect would be 0,bottom of header,width of cd,bottom of cd. -E On Jul 28, 2015, at 10:53 AM, Ray r...@linkit.com wrote: Understood, but then I'm still left
