I'm trying to make a simple app for my first shot, but would appreciate some help or pointing in the right direction. It would have 2 lines of text scrolling across the desktop, one line coming from each side. When they intersect, or perhaps after, a image would appear.
How do you treat the scrolling text: as one image for each line, or is each letter an image?

Thanks in advance, jack

You could also use two field controls and send them flying around the card using the move command. You will probably also want to take a look at the AnimationEngine extension, which makes these things a lot easier.

Heres a basic idea of the code:

Code: Select all

move field "Field1" to /*co-ordinates*/ without waiting 
move field "Field2" to /*co-ordinates*/ without waiting

if intersect (field "Field1", field "Field2") then
show image "Image"
end if

Play round with it for a bit til you get what you want.
