RE: Material Datalinq Key

@garner I use volatile texture in a few other scenes through scripting. I was worried I wouldn't get masking done right, but it seems to work now. I will try this if I run into masking issues further down the line. #XPression

Material Datalinq Key

Found In Egroup: Graphics \ view thread
I pull player headshots from a URL that is an RSS feed. Within a material I have it setup to pull the headshot in one layer and a mask in another to fade it into the lower third. Will a datalinq key work inside of a material? I haven't seem to have luck yet.

Ok I got that figured out. I am using a Scene Group and I just added another child scene with an increment on the datalinq. Next question is how can I get the text to animate out before my background animates out? #XPression

I am working on a solution using a simple notepad text file and a crawl. In case of an emergency the idea is that our PR guy will create message on shared drive on our servers and we can then post the message ASAP. The problem I am having is I do not know how long said message will be, and secondly I ...

GPI/Ross talk on a CC

Is it possible to assign a RossTalk to a CC on a Carbonite? I'd love to be able to trigger something from my Show Control straight to my carbonite instead of needing to do it through Dashboard.

RE: Two Box Mask with Pictures

This masking is pretty basic and I've had no problem with that. I'm trying to create a two box for an in-game promo using two video clips. The problem is I can't mask to crop the videos to fit until the boxes I have set up. That's what I'm trying to do. #XPression

Two Box Mask with Pictures

Maybe I am missing something really simple, but how can you make a two box graphic with two photos? I tinkered for quite sometime and could not get it done. Is there anything that describes what happens when you add in a mask?

Next problem. Everything works, however when I switch teams to pull different images it will not refresh in sequencer. Is there anyway to force a refresh so often? This is the script that I have at ononline, before online and on PreviewRender. dim name1 as xpTextObject dim pic1 as xpBaseObject ...

@garner Sorry I am a little slow on this. I guess I am not sure where I would put the the actual text from text 1 into this script. The picture is what I have populating now. #XPression

I would like to add photo's to a few graphics in venue and the link that has been provided for me gives me a link to pictures. The problem I have is that these pictures are at a low resolution 60x60. There is a higher resolution folder so I am wondering if there is a way to tell Xpression to use this ...

RE: Datalinq and Searching for specific Row.

So to piggy back on this. What about using a column and a row? On the right is the old datalinq and on the left is the new feed. #XPression

So I have taken a snapshot and have been playing around with this. One thing I have found is that it does not always work on the first run. I have also noticed some sources come back with 4 digits instead of 2. As far as I know this is nothing that I have done, but maybe that sticks out as something ...

Ok. So I was able to get it finally. I needed to use a blank canvas. My next problem is I will have multiple cross point changes.

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 ...
