Mark, Thanks!!! Wish I knew that before I did it by brute force. I ripple thru all controls(including mobile controls) and disable them (also remember ones that were already disabled), setting the transparency to like 20% setting all the card's background to gray. Then put a new group on the card and do whatever and then when the user is done remove the group and re-enable all controls set the transparency back yada-yada-yada. The way you are suggesting is very elegant indeed.

Set the blendLevel of the new image control to 50 and move the image control 3 or 4 pixels to the top-left. You can easily to this by script. You don't need to use static picture for this. You can do this dynamically, to make correspond to the current state of the screen. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Use Color Converter to convert CMYK, RGB, RAL, XYZ, H.Lab and other colour spaces. http://www.color-converter.com We have time for new software development projects.

I need to do something like this and am not sure how. If it's not possible, can something be done to an image to create this effect, and then have that image imported into an LC stack? > > Thanks, > Chris > > > -- > Chris Sheffield > Read Naturally, Inc. > www.readnaturally.com > > > _______________________________________________ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
