Webinar Session Questions 30/04/2014
Posted: Thu May 01, 2014 1:45 pm
Hi All,
Here are some responses for questions asked in yesterdays webinar-
How to add a group to a group?
There are a few methods that you can use to do this-
1) using relayerGroupControls
Something like the following script will allow you to add two separate layers into the one layer-
You will need to adjust the group names to ones you are using
2) Using copy
You can also use copy to insert a group into another group. This will leave the original group in place, so you may need to delete this-
copy group "groupOvals” to group "groupTop”
How to automatically reposition controls if one is deleted-
The following script has been taken from the distribution section of the property inspector. I altered it to only work on buttons but you should be able to adjust it for all control.
Simply add this script to a button called “test” and add multiple buttons to your card. Pressing the test button should distribute them evenly
The recording of yesterdays webinar should also be in your codingschool accounts.
Kind Regards,
Neil Roger

Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put the layer of group "groupTop" into tWhatLayer
set the relayerGroupedControls to true
set the layer of group "groupOvals" to tWhatLayer +1
set the relayerGroupedControls to false
end mouseUp2) Using copy

Simply add this script to a button called “test” and add multiple buttons to your card. Pressing the test button should distribute them evenly
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
-- repeating through your card to get long id's of all buttons
repeat with x = 1 to the number of buttons of this card
-- want to ignore button that triggers the script
if the name of button x is "button ""e&"test""e then
next repeat
end if
put the long id of button x & cr after tObjectNames
end repeat
put the number of lines in tObjectNames into tNumberOfObjects
put 0 into tWidth
--where the magic happens, and positions the buttons equally accross the cards
if tNumberOfObjects < 1 then exit to top
repeat with i = 1 to tNumberOfObjects
get line i of tObjectNames
add the width of it to tWidth
end repeat
get line 1 of tObjectNames
put word 5 to (the number of words in it) of it into tCardName
put the width of tCardName into tCardWidth
put (tCardWidth - tWidth) / (tNumberOfObjects + 1) into tPerSpace
put tPerSpace into tOffset
repeat with i = 1 to tNumberOfObjects
get line i of tObjectNames
set the left of it to round(tOffset)
add the width of it + tPerSpace to tOffset
end repeat
end mouseUpKind Regards,
