I need to have the outerglow of a graphic turned on/off by the script, but this doesn't seem to be it.

Code: Select all

set the outerglow of graphic "myRec" to true 
Does anyone know how to reference the show/hide outerglow effect? Thanks

1. yeah, I did that.
2. I did that, too.

Looking at the interface, it actually shows the radio as checked (active), but still doesn't show the outer glow... :?

Maybe I need to reinstall livecode, or something :|

This is because you have to mess around with opacity and size as well:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   set the outerglow["color"] of graphic "g1" to "255,255,255"
   set the outerglow[size] of graphic "g1" to 150
   set the outerglow[opacity] of graphic "g1" to 255
end mouseUp
