Hide and Show menu screens with ATL?

#1 Post by AERenoir »

The other day I saw this tumblr post with a video of an animated Menu screen transition. The menu screens slide in and out of view when you click on buttons.

How do you apply the ATL to the screens themselves, and not just the elements? I've seen posts on making the buttons slide in and out, but not the entire menu screen itself.

What if made just one screen like in this sample and instead of text lines show different frames (for preferences, saving/loading)?

You can assign transforms (like "at left") to "show screen" statements just like with images. Or you can use "on show:" as an ATL block in the screen itself.
