Scroll Bar or Slide Bar to control Playhead or Layer On/Off

Hello Lingo Forum...
I need to generate a script that will control the location of the Playhead or Turn off/on Layers based on the location of a slider bar. For example.. A slider bar needs to be created and lingo attached so when a user moves the slider up/down or Left/Right a Sprite will change based on the slider's location. I am not sure if it is better to have the Lingo turn Layers on and off based on location, or to move the playhead to swap sprites. I am looking for anyone who has accomplished this or has a link to an example of it. ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated for my LINGO skills are remedial at best.
Thanks
-Bill

I think in this instance the slider should display a series of bitmaps in different frames...
What I was trying to drive at in my previous post is that if all you are wanting to do is display a different bitmap based on slider position then it can easily be done in a single frame with a single sprite (displaying whichever bitmap in the sequence based on slider position). I would organise the slider to broadcast some kind of an "update" message when changed (and send its current value with this - as long as the ratio or limits are understood) and have the bitmap sprite catch this message and respond by displaying the appropriate cast member.

    Hello.
    We've noticed that the TOC slide bar/scroll bar is not displaying via iPad.  It does show Desktop via Safari and FireFox.  Is there a setting we have missed perhaps?
    Many thanks

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The scroll bar only appears when you are scrolling with your trackpad. If you want to make it show always, open System Preferences > General, and mark "Always" next to "Show scroll bars".
    Then, Mac keyboards have not got a Home or End key

  • How to make a slide bar that controls opacity

    I'm trying to figure out how to make a slide bar that would control opacity. If I were to take to pictures on top of each other, the slide bar would control the opasity of the top image. Thanks

    can you make a slider that controls anything?  if so, what's the range you can control?
    ie, when the slider is at one extreme it causes some object to have value1 and when it's at the other extreme the object has value2.  what value1, value2 can you handle?

  • Volume Mixer Slide Bar Controls display on screen and interfere with internet and other functions.

    Without warning Volume Slide Bar Controls will display on my screen fluctuating levels like I was changing the volume/bass/treble level. This stops/blocks whatever I'm doing on the the notebook such as typing, internet, turns on my "wireless" connection, turns on the volume mixers (I keep it turned off), and stops my typing. This will go on for varying lengths of time, and then all goes back to normal. It happens on or off the internet, wireless or wired.

  • Cap. 5.0: returning to an earlier slide loses the control bar

    My 10-slide course uses the control bar at the bottom. The last slide has a button that returns the user to slide #1.  When one uses the button to return to slide #1, the control bar has disappeared from all of the slides.  I'm baffled.

    Check your project for any Advanced Actions that might be setting the variable for cpCmndShowPlaybar to 0.
    These actions might be attached to that final button, or On Slide Enter somewhere.
    What happens if you use the TOC to navigate back to the first slide instead of clicking the button?  Does the playbar still disappear?
    What happens if you remove the current Playbar, and set to a different playbar?  Does it still disappear?

  • Slider bar and volume control gone!  how do I fix this

    I am new to mac and i just lost the slider bar and the top most section of the itunes controls. I don't know what happened. I can't get it back. The controls via menu work. Also the red amber and green dots on the corner are also gone!
    I tried dragging the itunes app to the trash and reloading it but it was restored the same way as before. Does anyone know what went wrong or how to restore itunes to the proper display?
    thanks for your help in advance

  • Clock control of slide bar

    Trying to use a simple timed algorithm to vary a slide bar (which drives a digital attenuator)...any suggestions?

    Hello,
    I don't quite have enough information to answer this question. Are you using LabVIEW? Which version? Are you just trying to increment the value of the slide bar every second?
    If that's your application, then it should be pretty easy to do in LabVIEW. Just place a Wait Until Next Millisecond Multiple VI in a while loop, with a 1000 wired into the time input. Then just use the iterator (the i) and wire it into a local variable for the slide bar that has been changed to write. Wiring into "Value" for the slide bar property node will also do it. If you'd like I can send you a little example if you tell me which version you're using.
    Hope this helps!

  • Slide bars slow EVERYTHING​, I dont understand​!!!!!

    I have couple of scroll bars in my VI. It's big, and it does many things, millions of things, and well does.A big program that is.
    However I when I needed to add couple of scrollbars it just SLOWS EVERYTHING miserably. And my CORE 2 Duo loaded FULL just because of couple of scroll bars!
    I don't understand why slide bars in Labview are that SLOW? What's wrong with it?
    This is just an example of my code, in attachment.
    It is placed inside the loop. And the iteration of loop is set by a 100ms timer. But when I enable peace of this code, it BARELY does two executions in a second. When I disable it does about 10 executions just as intended, although the rest part of the code is bazillion times bigger and complex.
    Any clue?? Or replacements??

    Look, we are trying to help here, but you need to cooperate too.
    Nobody will steal you ingenious algorithms and sell them on e-bay. Nobody will laugh at your code. However, if you are lucky, some of it might get a honorary mention in the Rube Goldberg thread. That's considered an honor!
    If you feel sick, you don't fax a picture of your finger-tip to the doctor for a full differential diagnosis. Right? So why attach a code image of an area covering only 1/bazillion'th of the code. Obviously, you cannot tell what's important for us, else you would also have shown a picture of the overlapping controls of the front panels.
    Many here have 10+ years of programming experience and we've seen it all. We've seen the code with a bazillion property nodes and overlapping controls. Since each property node forces a switch to the UI thread and needs to execute synchronously, your style of programming (if we can call it that) alone can be 3-5 orders of magnitude more demanding on computing resources. If you keep programming like that, you'll run into the wall 1000x earlier than with equivalent efficient code. The community here is good at identifying performance issues. Just recently we were able to take a VI that took several hours to execute and tuned it so it did the same thing (actually more) in under 10 milliseconds.
    If we don't see the code, our hands are tied. I cannot debug a picture.
    If your stamp sized snippet is of any indication, you are one of these newbie LabVIEW programmers that have all controls and indicators nicely parked and disconnected in an empty area of the diagram, while the loop code reads and writes everything via value property nodes. I was hoping it's not, that's why i wanted to see the code. It is likely that you are (somewhat) experienced in text based code, which often causes issues when transitioning to graphical code. You tend to stick to old paradigms that are no longer suitable in the new environment. I strongly recommend to listen to our advice and change your coding habits as soon as possible. Once you get really used to bad habits, it will be more difficult to change.
    As with any advice, you have two viable options. (1) take it. (2) leave it.
    So, back to the problem at hand: Were you able to solve the problem? Do you still want us to help?

  • How do I turn off and on the icon size slider bar at the lower right status bar of a folder window.

    I have been trying for days to help a friend with a new iMac to turn on the icon size slider bar that on my iMac appears at the bottom of ever folder when it is open when in the "view" > "icon" mode.  I cannot find anything that discusses this slider bar.  I can turn this status bar off and on on both my machine and my friends machine, but I cannot turn off or on the slider on either machine. 

    This did not help.  I am a Mac User since 1984 and generally I am never stymied buy the Mac OS, but this one has me.   I can open and close the lower status bar, as you described, and that works fine for me because I have the icon slider bar already there and it works fine; however when I open the lower status bar on my friends machine there is no icon size slider bar, and I can't seem to find out how to get it there, as it is on my machine or at all. The icon size can be controlled from the View menu, but as a photographer, it is really handy to have it at the bottom of the folder window.  Thanks for trying. 

  • Suddenly the bottom part of the browser window, under the slide bar, has vanished. I can't see where it says Done, or a website name or all the icons on the right side

    The window just ends right below the slide bar. I tried closing the window and reopening it, even restarting the computer, but it didn't fix it. At first I thought the window was too big, so I tried resizing it, but it didn't work.
