The main image looks like a computer keyboard with all the keys in the UP position, and has 76 transparent buttons over the "key" simulations in the image. When you move the cursor over a "key" and press the mouse, you are sending a mouseDown to the transparent button. In my HC version, this simulates a "key" press by using the rect of the button to display _only_ that same _portion_ of the DOWN-state image which is in memory. The basic call (just for the display, not other actions) with the XCMD in HC looks like this: on theKey GLOBAL gBgGW_id lock screen get xGWorld( "lock",gBgGW_id ) get xGWorld( "draw",gBgGW_id,rect of the target, rect of the target, the id of card window ) get xGWorld( "unlock",gBgGW_id ) play "kyDnSnd" wait until the mouse is up unlock screen -- redraw screen when mouse is released play "kyUpSnd" end theKey ...It performs a kind of cookie cutter thing: displays a rect of a matching _portion_ of the DOWN image over the same position of the Up image. ---------- > Hi Ken, > > Try this scenario: > - group the "Down" image (yes, just the one image) > - set the rect of the group to the rect you want to > display every time ---------- If I understand you correctly, I think that will resize the whole image, and we'll end up with a miniature of the whole keyboard, won't it? ---------- > - set the lockLocation of the group to true > - hide the group > Then when you need to display: > - set the hScroll of group "DOWN" to X > - set the vScroll of group "DOWN" to Y > - show group "DOWN" ---------- That will scroll the whole grouped DOWN image somewhere...won't work either. ---------- > That ought to do the trick. ---------- Thanks for trying. Maybe I just don't fully understand what happens if you group the image. It has to be in a background behavior thing anyway.
