Hello everybody,
I want to change the size of a stack:
command changeStackSize
lock screen
-- (computes and set the new size)
end changeStackSize
The problem is that notwithstanding the lock screen the change is visible in
two steps: first the window size, and then the content. I would
Hi Jacques,
Lock screen, change stack size, change content, unlock screen. This
should give acceptable results. This is a script, which I use in a
project of mine:
revChangeWindowSize the width of this stack,the cNewHeight of cd
Destination Card,Slide,,100
lock screen
go
Thanks, Mark. Works for almost everything, except for a copy of a picture (I
have the original picture hidden and resized in the background, and a visible
copy of it to work on). I tried two solutions
1) resize the original picture and recopy it in my changeStackSize command:

Hi Jacques,
When you copy a resized picture, Revolution may restore the original
dimensions. Copy the picture first, then resize the new picture, or
use the imagedata of the old picture to set the imagedata of the new
picture. If you do the latter, set the dimensions of the new picture

It's a rev stack, and you can set the default font (of the field the
content is shown in) to a larger size... however most of the text has
it's own style, and those are set by scripts, so you'd need to go
trough the scripts and set them yourself. There's a chance that you

Hi Tim
it depends of the kind of loop you are using. Several possibilities For example
in a card script:
local stoploop
command runTheLoop
repeat forever
if stoploop = S then exit repeat
-- do what you want

end repeat
end runTheLoop

Hey, this is great. I will donate.
I like the attention to detail. Also the (unprotected) stack itself is a
good example of some rather nice divider bars, geometry, practical use of
XML, and plugin design.
