I'm re-posting this, sorry to be pesky but if anyone replied I must have
missed it.....e-mail is fine if this has been answered in the group.
................
I have two questions about Scala:
I am running MM400 on an A4000/030, WB 3.0 -
1) Is there a way to begin a second event before the previous one ends? For
instance, I have a text line wiping in...I would like the next line
to begin it's entry before the first one is completely finished. I do
not however wish to 'link' them together (so that they start and
finish identically and are forced to use the same wipe)
It seems improbable that all events other than sound must be
'consecutive', so what am I doing wrong?
I've been told you can set the 'line' no. of events to the same
number, but have found no way to do this.
2) How do I insert a 'script' in place of a page ine the Main menu. The
manual points out that this is how the "ScalaMain" demo script is
done
(page 140) and this is indeed so! But when I try it (by
selecting the page no., then hitting the "insert new" button, and
loading the desired script from the "background page" requester) I
get the scripts name showing up in the list alright, but any attempt
to "show" it or "run" it results only in a blank screen.
If I try just using the Main menu's "New" button and loading the
script from the resultant "background" requester, the program seems
to
'hang'.
I'd appreciate help learning how to use these features,
Thanks,
Steve
