James, that worked, I checked off the enable user input box. "Number" still shows up to the producers but it doesn't do anything. I moved it down to the bottom of the options they see. Thanks again! ------------------------------ Kevin Coffee Graphic Designer Weigel Broadcasting ---------- ...

Thanks, James. In our version of xPression Designer, Dynamic Materials don't even show up as an option. ------------------------------ Kevin Coffee Graphic Designer Weigel Broadcasting ------------------------------

SUCCESS! Thank you so much for your help, James. The only remaining issue is what the producers see on their end. They see the "BackgroundMat" field where they can now pick the backround. I set it to a Radio Buttons list, and it works. But, they also see the "Number" text field that gives them ...

James (Or anyone who can help), I'm having trouble setting up the Global list. I'm not getting the process of making it work, as far as the columns. Does there need to be a new column for every possible backround I want available? ------------------------------ Kevin Coffee Graphic Designer Weigel ...

If anyone could post an example of the Visual Logic needed for this, it would be greatly appreciated. I keep waiting for the day when Visual Logic just appears in my head like magic, but it ain't happenin'! ------------------------------ Kevin Coffee Graphic Designer Weigel Broadcasting -- ...

multiple background choice

I have created fukllscreens for News where the producers can select from different backgrounds. Each background is a separate quad object (Crime, Medical, Education, etc). The way I am doing it now, I have published each background quad with the option set to VISIBILITY. So the News Producers on their ...

Simon, yes, that is what I'm trying to do. I can certainly just make different scenes with different text sizes, I just wondered if there was a way to make the font size change based upon 1) the amount of text and 2 ) the limit of the bounding box in the space between the text above and below the quote. ...

I turned word wrap off, but then it requires the Producer to manually do their own line breaks so it's not just one line of text. If they do this, it just keeps going on and extends up over the headline text and lower identifier text and doesn't auto-squeeze. I think I'm just trying to do something that ...

I'm still stuck on this. I can't figure out how to constrain the height of the text bounding box, so the text auto squeezes by width and height as more text is added. ------------------------------ Kevin Coffee Graphic Designer Weigel Broadcasting ------------------------------

This is where I'm at. The text is expanding vertically from the center. But it will go on forever. I need the text to auto-squeeze (width and height) so the text gets smaller as more is added. Plus, the overall text bounding box needs to be constrained in the space between the headlines and the quote ...

Thanks, Malcolm. The way it works now, the text is at the top of the text box and each line goes down. I need it to be in the center and expand up and down from the center, and I need it to have a limit. Now it will just go forever. I really appreciate your feedback. ------------------------------ ...

I have a News scene that displays quotes. I based the font size on instances where there is a fairly long quote, but it looks bad if the quote is short, as it leaves too much open space in the scene. I would like the text size to increase when there is less text. Can I do this with visual logic? ...
