Nothing happens.

Looking at your code it seems like the grc grows far too quickly to the limit you set, and then returns to something small. Try putting

Code: Select all

wait 1

in the loop somewhere.

Also, the image never goes away, so the grc is really not seen. Lose that image in the prep work and restore it afterwards, if it contributes somehow to your overall idea.

Why do you call it "Ripple". I was excited when I first saw it, thinking it made some sort of wave-like effect, not that it just got larger.

Hey, why not try your hand at that? You are the image guy.

I can imagine a string of images that appear in sequence, each slightly different that express a true "ripple", would be really cool. These together could act like a single waving button, as long as you had a mouseUp handler in the card script.

Do it with the Bulgarian flag. Remember to loop back to the beginning at the end.

Some time ago I tried to do something like that. Here is what I achieved, I hope it helps you.

2. I am incredibly mean when it comes to money.

Those are certainly better than mine.

ALTHOUGH (inevitable dig), I am interested to know how you manage to
get away with multiple graphics with the same name.

Well, it helps me only insofar as letting me know that my attempt is not up to much.

I am beginning to feel very stupid indeed as an cannot find any mouseDown / mouseUp scripts
in any of the objects underlying where I click.

Arguably slightly better.

Removed stack: see below.

That previous offering was a load of b*ll*cks as the ripple effect obscured the button text.

Instead of referring to the graphics by their name, I do so by the number they occupy within the group.

The script is in the "Effect-Ripple-Button-MD" button, which is used as the behavior.

Thanks for the helpful answers.

All.

Still think that a "waving flag" button, what I originally thought was the intended effect, is a task worth pursuing. It should be straightforward, as I wrote above, and would actually earn the moniker "ripple".

Do it with the Bulgarian flag.

For what earthly reason would I want to do that?

[dunbarx]

I thought you had a soft spot for Bulgaria.

Scott Rossi did that some years ago with an American flag, it was very realistic. It may still be on his web site somewhere.
