Graphics

Hey All:

My first post, so I beg your patience in advance :)

I am building a simple lower third, made up of a textbox and a quad. Is there a way to track the width of the text box so that the width of the quad will adjust as the text lengthens or shortens? I am trying to avoid having the text hang off the edge of the quad, without the operator having to manually adjust the width of the quad on each graphic.

Can this be done via Script Event?

Thanks!

Chris,

If you have a quad and text object and you set the pivot point on the quad to the left edge you can have the two objects scale together.

- Drag the Quad so it is a child of the text object.

- Select Text object, open Tabs & Options in the Object Inspector, click the 'Enabled', make sure you have Target set to 'First Child' and Mode is set to 'Width Only'

These settings will have the quad follow the text.

Please let us know if you have more questions.
