Re: Can't get debug mode to engage with constrainLinear hand

Hi Malte - sorry, have just picked your response - have been on cashflow projects since getting stuck :-) Do you mean constrainLinear? (I don't understand why constrainrectangular would need to be set for the constrainLinearCallBack to function properly) Assuming it is constrainLinear, to get the ha...

Can't get debug mode to engage with constrainLinear handler

Hello there for a while, I have been running various modifications of a stack that uses AE's constrainLinearCallBack handler to run a collection of constrainLinear-based sliders. When it is working, it is brilliant. However, there is quite a high percentage of days on which code that has worked quit...

Re: Multiple use of bitmap images

Thankyou, Jacqueline - my challenge is that the images are being resized dynamically in response to an animation engine "constrain linear" function - but if memory is not likely to be a huge issue, it will be easier to used the naked images (not attached to buttons) - have gone through a further rou...

Re: Multiple use of bitmap images

Excellent - thankyou, Craig - won't locking prevent the resizing that will be necessary for an app to work on multiple devices? (but it will be a welcome change from having to resize upon reopening the stack! (I've taken to manually sizing every item by coding as a proportion of screen size, as it s...

Multiple use of bitmap images

Hello there I am wanting to use (and dynamically resize) multiple copies of an image (imported icon png file) as indicators of output scores: the larger the presented size of the on-screen image, the greater is the score for a particular variable. If I were to put a copy of the image on a separate s...

further update

Many thanks for the earlier help - the stack now comprises a number of cards, each servicing a page in the app - tracking well. Ahead, there is a significant challenge in terms of generating a page that draws input from all of the existing pages and integrates this with additional input scores to pr...

Re: referring to fields in a repeat loop

Hi Both - a quick update: the invaluable guidance you provided led yesterday to the compression of my stack from several hundred lines down to a hundred or so - a great step forwards. At this point, I have not yet ironed out all of the bugs - I expect that will be the focus of most of today - once I...

Re: referring to fields in a repeat loop

thankyou - I can follow the logic of each of the items that you have listed up here - I am afraid my main challenge is even more basic: let's say that there are to be seven elements in the array, ticon1 .... ticon7 how do I declare the array in such a way that a repeat loop responds to the presence ...

Re: referring to fields in a repeat loop

Aha - wonderful - thank you Shaosean! I am still not clear on the simple task of initially defining the keys of the array - will try to work that through in conjunction with the Dictionary and what you have suggested and let you know how I go

very best

referring to fields in a repeat loop

I have been reluctant to submit this most basic of questions but having spent the last few hours scouring all sources of information (and there seem to be quite a few), I have yet to identify a solution. I have referred to the User Guide, Dictionary, lessons, tutorials, rev online, conferences .... ...

Re: Angles

A quick update: have realized that most of my challenge remains in: 1 - having so many components in the pie - this may become more manageable when I have gained more expertise in managing arrays - for now, I'll revert to sliders and, if I can resolve question 2 below, to knobs 2 - how to avoid over...

Angles

Hello there - I've started out developing an adjustable pie graph in which an icon can be used to adjust the size of individual sectors by finger swipe - similar to the neat and elegant version reported by BvG in 2008 (my account does not yet enable me to provide the link). I was initially strugglin...
