I can't think of a reason for it. What do you want to do?

Hi zaxos,
Would the "move" command do the same job for you?

Hi.

So is it that you have this slideShow as a sideShow? That is, the slideshow is doing its thing, but the user is interacting with the program at the same time from the mainstack?

HI zaxos,

short answer: No, "visual effects" are always blocking!

You may be able to fake it sonehow by using a complicated script
and the "send" command, but that will never be the same, I'm afraid.

Best

Klaus

Thank you for your comment ppl, the effect i wanted was dissolve and i managed to recreate it by hand, its actualy working pretty well and most of all its nonblocking. If anyone is intrested i can share.

Hi Zaxos

I hope that you are well.

I know that this is an old thread but is there anyway that you could share your method for a non-blocking dissolve.

Many Thanks

I guess he did it like I proposed: Setting "the blendlevel" over the time with a SEND command.

Just have a single card substack with layers for your slideshow and sequentially make each layer transparent (or slide off to
one side if that's what floats your boat).
