Hi all,

I have the following script on my Lower 3rd text to bring on a quad when text is typed into the text box

dim bar as xpBaseObject

scene.GetObjectByName("BASELINE_D", Bar)

if Len(text) > 0 then

Bar.visible = True

else

Bar.visible = False

end if

Now I want to change the Y position value relative to text input in another text layer.

If the text layer has content, I want the text box to move up to make room. If there is no text, I want it to stay where it is.

How do I incorporate this into the current script? I am not sure on syntax, and I am having issues getting my head around how to interpret the Help documentation.

Any help or advice would be appreciated!

if you wanted to move a second text line based on this one being null or having text, a rough script would be:

dim text2 as xpBaseObject

scene.GetObjectByName("Line2", text2) < this is the text line you want to move

if trim(text) "" then

text2.posX = 10.0

else

text2.posX = 20.0

end if

you can use posY as well. Another one I've been using lately is SetPosXYZ - which can set all 3.

The syntax is a little different though.. it would be --> text2.SetPosXYZ (10.0, 0.0, 0.0)

Thanks for that! I was a bit stuck without that code.

I had a play with what you gave me and came up with this tweak.

dim text1 as xpBaseObject

scene.GetObjectByName("Top Line Text", text1)

if Len(text) > 0 then

text1.posY = -405.00

else

text1.posY = -430.0

end if

Going to have a play with the SetPosXYZ next.

Thanks again!
