> So I am thinking of something similar to Scratch's <glide [n} secs to x:[ ] y: [ ]> tile, but more generic.
> So perhaps a tile that changed any numeric value incrementally over a period of time. Something like: <glide:  <numeric Attribute> to: [new value] in [] secs.
> Use Cases:
>    Change the width/length of a playfield, to create a Mouse Over drop down type menu
>    Glide to position X,Y in z seconds
>    Changing alpha to create fade in/fade out effects
>    Changing other color values (just for fun)
> I tried doing this in the existing Etoys and it is possible, the problems (at least for me) are:
>   1) you have to re-create the same basic script each time for each attribute and player
>   2) You can't pass an attribute in as a parameter to a script (this I think would solve the problem, if I could pass more than one variable to a script, I could pass the player the attribute, the time and the new value.
