Hey Guys.

I have developed a function that will dynamically resize and move components on a screen at runtime. I often find there simply isnt enough screen space to adequately fit all the compenents I desire at one time. Using this script, you can quicly create a screen that can “open” and "close un-needed components.

Video coming shortly
