Graphics

There are a few things I am looking for help with here. We are doing a match game promo this season. I already have answer box setup to move with the question box (but still need some tweaking). There are two things I can not quite figure out. 1. I would like the "Blank" line to stay as long as the answer text. Secondly I would like both the blank and answer layers to stop at the end of the text box of the graphic regardless of how long the question is. I have both layers set to auto squeeze currently. Unfortunately I have different staff members of different knowledge levels of Xpression operating from game to game so my hope is that I can have the operator populate the question in our excel sheet and have some scripting or visual logic setup to take of the rest.

Hello jbins,

this can be done without scripting or Visual Logic :

• set your "Blank Line" object as a child of your text object. Adjust his X-pivot, Width (and/or X-scale) so it match the position and size of the current text.
• on your text object : set Auto Scale enabled , with mode "width only"

Now If you change the text, the "blank line" should follow.

Then enable "Auto Squeeze" on your text object and define a max. width. to make it stop growing
