Is it possible to output the end position of a crawl while it is animating in the framebuffer?  I'd like to trigger a scene director script once the end of the crawl has reached a certain X position.  Thank you.

Hi John.

In this case I recommend to use event marker which position x equals text position plus text weight in VL. And scrip below when event is OnShow

        Dim frambuffer As xpOutputFrameBuffer
        Dim scn As xpScene
        Dim anim As xpSceneDirector
        engine.GetOutputFrameBuffer(0, frambuffer)
        frambuffer.GetSceneOnLayer(0, scn)
        scn.GetSceneDirectorByName("anim", anim)
        anim.PlayRange(0, anim.Duration)

Thank you, Roman, for the reply.  In this case, however, I'm trying to dynamically track the end point of a crawl within a scene group that does not use a scene director.  I was looking through the xpSceneGroup members in the SDK and didn't see anything.  It's possible I may have missed something.

        Dim frambuffer As xpOutputFrameBuffer        Dim scn As xpScene        Dim anim As xpSceneDirector        engine.GetOutputFrameBuffer(0, frambuffer)        frambuffer.GetSceneOnLayer(0, scn)        scn.GetSceneDirectorByName("anim", anim)        anim.PlayRange(0, anim.Duration)
