Applying zoom to an imagebutton

[Evildumdum]

So i've started transforming using zoom. Hit a slight problem in that I can't work out how to apply the transform to an imagebutton. No matter how i try to use it, i always get the message that "zoom is not a keyword argument or valid child for the imagebutton statement."

If anyone can help or point me towards some material that might help i would be very grateful. I drew a blank in my search.

On a separate note, is it possible to apply zoom on an entire screen?

I believe to make this work, you need to define the transform first and then apply it to the button. Something like this:

Code: Select all

init-2:
    transform zoomedin:
        zoom 2.0

screen buttonsandstuff:
    imagebutton:
        idle "button1"
        hover "button1_1"
        at zoomedin

To apply the zoom to the entire screen, I think you need to apply it to the layer.

Code: Select all

show layer master at zoomedin

I hope this helps?

Very much so. Just a quick question though. I get the show layer master at zoomed in, but i have no idea where it should be placed to get the desired effect. Does it go inside the screen itself of in the show / call for the screen?

I can apply the zoom to individual buttons now, but if a can zoom the whole screen it would save hours of programming and simplify alot of code.

Sorry for replying late!

Ok, to apply the zoom to the whole screen simply add "show layer screens at zoomedin" after your 'start' label. But bear in mind that this will be applied to ALL screens you have showing. I'm not sure how to apply it to a single one unless you defined a separate layer for it or something like that.
