Any change i get a nonblock visual effect?

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

i'm having a background slideshow on substack and i cant affort it to lock my main stack

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.

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).
