I've run into a problem with Transition Logic where I am playing one lower third on layer one and another on layer two.

I want the lower third on layer two to check to see whether a quad object is visible so that I can change the scene directors I am using if it is.

I have Visual Logic that decides whether ChicletImage is visible depending upon whether Chiclet has text.

I created a rule with a script condition...does the script below read as a true or false as far as Transition Logic is concerned?'

Thanks,

James.

Dim fb as xpOutputFrameBufferDim SceneLayer1 As xpSceneDim ChicletImage As xpQuadObjectEngine.GetOutputFrameBuffer(0,fb)fb.GetSceneOnLayer(1, SceneLayer1)engine.GetSceneByName("SceneLayer1", SceneLayer1, False)scene.GetObjectByName("ChicletImage", ChicletImage)ChicletImage.Visible=True

So, I haven't done cross scene communication, but maybe I am seeing some odd stuff here.

fb.GetSceneOnLayer assigns a scene to SceneLayer1

Then you clobber those results by reassigning a scene to it with engine.GetSceneByName.

You never use SceneLayer1

Did you mean to do SceneLayer1.GetObjectByName?

Is ChickletImage in the current scene or SceneLayer1?

Azathoth,

Clobber! That is a good assessment---I am not a programmer, so I take snippets from here or there and try to force it to work.

I was hoping to check the scene on layer one for whether ChicletImage was visible and answer true or false for transition logic.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

James.
