I tried creating two polygon objects. One with manual drag properties and the other with automatic drop with my 3 allowed objects. Because I am dragging a group of objects by referencing the [DropX] and [DropY] positions so it becomes problematic to recreate those sets.

What I tried and thought would work was to disable and hide those drop objects that i had specified, but the polygon objects still snapped to them regardless. For a little more insight, I am using 3 rectangle objects for the left, right and top areas I wished to have my dragged object to snap to. I wanted to disable the snap function from a menu option but have not been successful.

So… I guess I have to give up on disabling the snap function as designed?

Let me explain what I mean.

As I move my image up and off screen my Y position of the picture object becomes let’s say -97. But what I want need is store that value in a variable as a positive number 97. This must be a part of my script which is triggered by a trackbar object that is always changing as the user moves it.

So I need a way using the math object to accomplish this.

Not sure what you mean by "multiply -1" ?

I noticed that in the Polygon object’s properties that you can select either:

None

Manual

Automatic (with list of objects allowed)

Question: Is there anyway to change these properties at run-time?

Thanks.

LauraMarie:

1) Your image is not showing.

2) Perhaps you can post the General Properties (minimum, maximum values etc.) of the Track Bar object … as well as your script (Value Changed, Value Changing etc.).

NeoBook Action Commands :: Need Help/Suggestion with Track Slider Control

Hello everyone!

I hate to make my first post here a request for help but I have been stuck on this for a couple days now and was hoping that maybe an experienced Neobooker may have a suggestion.

I am building an application that employs a ruler that measures screen pixels. The ruler starts at 0y and ends at 1200y. The length of the ruler GIF is 1160px with 760px showing on screen with the remaining hiding off the bottom of the screen. When the user moves the trackbar it needs to create a result that starts at 40px and as the slider is advanced subtracts value until it reaches a maximum value of -420.

The calculated result should move up the ruler GIF as the user moves the slide control downward. Once the maximum value is reached, the GIF file will be moved to to the screen position of -380y which would allow the bottom of the ruler to be in view.

I hope this makes sense?

Here is a screen shot of the interface which may help clarify.

Seems like a simple script but I am having trouble making the slider calculate the right result. Moving the slider up and down should move the ruler at the same time as the value changes..

I would really appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Fred:

Databases always append new records … but they can be made to display records in a sorted order … so what you can do is have a field in the database called SortOrder … and then ask to view the records sorted by this field.

Some tips for easy maintenance …

1) when adding a record (playlist line), assign SortOrder numbers in increments of 1,000 or 10,000

2) so when you want to insert a line between SOrtOrder of 1000 and 2000, assign it a SortOrder of 1500 … and then 1250 or 1750 etc.

If you run out of numbers … e.g. you need to insert between lines with SOrtOrder of 1201 and 1202 … you have to export the records (or copy them to another Database Table) … in the SortOrder … and then reload them with a new SortOrder that is spaced again by a 1,000 or 10,000.

P.S. Make sure the SortOrder field is defined as numeric … because text fields will sort like this …

1

10

101

102

11

110

12

13

…

19

2

20

21

…

29

3

etc.

NeoBook Action Commands :: insert question.

In a project I store several lines of a playlist in an array.

every line in the array tels several players which page to play.

the array can have a hundred lines.

every line is linked to a page number that can be programmed

The problem is that i’m not able to insert a line in the array.

I tried to use the basic database plugin, but unlike in a spreadsheet I’m not able to insert a new record, it only appends records.

Am I overlooking something obvious or is it not an easy thing to do?

Thanks Fred.
