Reply to Mouse over = Mouse away?!?! Help! in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Okay, I got the mask effect to work and it is a really cool technique, BUT my object is circular therefore I need it to grow radially. The mask technique does not do this so I still had to use animation (i.e. onmouseleave object state= "shrink") and that brings me right back to square one with the mouse over= mouse away problem. I seem to be going in circles! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/sd_com/smiles/SadAngry.gif" border=0 ALIGN

Object growing Radially (sans animation): Is this possible? in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I know you can add to the height and width but that has the same effect as dragging on one corner of your window. I don't want to use animation because it conflicts with the script I'm using. My object is circular, therefore, I need it to grow radially. How can I achieve this? Is there anything in DX that deals with the object's overall size/radius? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

RomanDA, I finally mastered your masking technique! Only problem is, it won't work for my object. My object is circular and I need it to grow radially. As far as I can tell there is no way to make your image or object grow outwards and equally on all sides. The only way to accomplish this is by animation and that countermands the technique you use. <img src=

Thanks for taking the time RomanDA! I'll try to replicate your technique on my object and get back to you. Thanks again.

RomanDA, how exactly does this mask effect work (specifically how does hide the contents)? I got your meter but I don't understand any of the scripting involved. Is your technique applicable to an object that uses mouse over/ away to open & close as opposed to clicking another object?

Yeah, I think that was me in the other boards as well. RomanDA suggested the mask effect but I don't understand at all how that works. It involves alot of scripting, none of which I understand. Maybe I should ask him for

Reply to Mouse over = Mouse away?!?! Help! in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I have an object which is a bubble. It has 3 states: default, grow, and shrink. Grow and shrink are animated images. When I move the mouse over the bubble it growst to its full size (via animation) and then the shortcuts appear inside the bubble. When I move my mouse away from the bubble the shortcuts disappear and the bubble shrinks. The problem is when the mouse is over the shortcuts the bubble treats this as 'mouse away' and then shrinks. Th

Hi. I'm a newbie and I am trying to accomplish the same thing you are. I think I may have part of the answer as far as making the links appear AFTER the animation finishes and not before. However, it is an incomplete script as I am trying to work out one last kink. The one thing wrong with this script is that when the mouse is over the link it treats this action as MouseLeaving the scroll and will begin the re-rolling animation. I don’t know how to cor

Reply to User configurable shortcut: How do I accomplish this? in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

The idea is for the user to decide what the target will be so I guess it could be a url/file/folder or program. To start with though, I'd have the shortcuts set up to some of the targets provided in DX like My Documents, favorites, or Internet, and maybe I'll include a URL like stardock.com. General stuff. If the user doesn't like the targets provided they can change it. That's the idea anyways.

Reply to User configurable shortcut: How do I accomplish this? in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I sorry, maybe I'm miscomunicating. I have DX 3.0 Pro and I have made 1 nifty gadget before the one I am attempting now. As I understand DX so far, you must set the target in builder mode. After you have created the gadget the target is permanent; there is no way for the user to change it. What I want to know is: Is there any way, through scripting, to have a gadget that allows the user to change the shortcut's t

Reply to User configurable shortcut: How do I accomplish this? in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Thanks for the reply Bichur. But that would require the user to have, know how to use, and run DesktopX. Perhaps, I shouldn't have said client mode. I meant I would like to make it into a stand alone gadget. I would like to make it gadget so that the user can run it like a regular program. Can anyone help me out?

User configurable shortcut: How do I accomplish this? in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I am using DesktopX 3.0. How do I make a shortcut that when completed into a widget, can be configured by the user. I made a shortcut object in DX builder mode then I exported the object as widget. The target is set to my own specific file/folder/program but if someone else loads the widget in their station the shortcut is useless because they cannot access my files or they do not have that program. What I want to do is make the shortcut co

Thank you RomanDA. I have been searching the WinCustomize objects for something similar to what I need. I found an EditField by Brad Wardell. That's something like what I want so I'll spend some time trying to understand just what all that lingo is in the script. Thanks for the tip on Stardock IRC chat. I'll try there, too. If anyone else has any answers or tips please feel free to issue some advice. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Smile
