Does anybody have an idea of how to animate an object using a timer from right to left on my screen?
Use system.gui.transform
[quote=“jpark, post:2, topic:16175”]
system.gui.transform
how do I need to do that?
Look at the example here.
https://docs.inductiveautomation.com:8443/display/DOC79/system.gui.transform
I’m assuming you’re using a Timer component (since the Left to Right part of animation is easy enough to do), as well as a component with an X property. In that case you simply need to do a little math.
Place an Expression Binding on the X property that converts left-to-right movement to right-to-left:
maxPossibleXPosition - currentTimerValue
Regardless if my assumptions are correct or not, jpark’s suggestion of system.gui.transform will also work.
Thanks, guys that worked!
So this means system.gui.moveComponent() is deprecated?
That’s correct - although we almost always maintain backwards compatibility; so the function isn’t going to stop working, it just won’t be visible in the manual or intellihints.
