i am not sure if i am wrong, but i did this and it doesnt work



[xml]

<style

<attributes font="Interface/fonts/some.fnt" backgroundColor="#f00f" />

<effect>

<onClick name="fade" start="#f" end="#0" length="3000">

</effect>

</styles>

[/xml]

Your style/styles tags seem rather messed up…

[xml]

<style>

<attributes font="Interface/fonts/some.fnt" backgroundColor="#f00f" />

<effect>

<onClick name="fade" start="#f" end="#0" length="3000">

</effect>

</style>

[/xml]

sorry about that. just asking if generalizing animation can be done?

I think so but I’m not sure as I don’t use styles a lot (most of my layouts are generated dynamically).



Give it a try… or you could try looking at the standard control styles and see what they do…

In general applying styles like in your example should work of course.



I think in this specific case you’re probably missing visibleToMouse=“true” so the element is ignored in event processing and your onClick effect is ignored.

I’ve done this and it doens’t work; just asked to check… I had put the visibleToMouse set True in the specific screen’s element in xml. I’ll try doing VisibleToMouse in the style perhaps… Thanks much! :slight_smile:
