So I created <a href="http://tracker.squeakland.org/browse/SQ-1021" target="_parent" style="color:rgb(0,51,102);outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;text-decoration:none;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">SQ-1021</a> where I am looking for something similar to Scratch&#39;s &lt;glide [n} secs to x:[ ] y: [ ]&gt; tile, but more generic.<div>
<div><br></div><div>A scripting tile that changed any numeric value incrementally over a period of time. Something like: &lt;glide:  &lt;numeric Attribute&gt; to: [new value] in [] secs.</div><div><br></div><div>Use Cases:</div>
<div><ol><li>Change the width/length of a playfield, to create a Mouse Over drop down type menu</li><li>Glide to position X,Y in z seconds</li><li>Changing alpha to create fade in/fade out effects</li><li>Changing other color values (just for fun, and imagine if I could address each pixel in a graphic this way :D, okay Karl already imagined and implemented that the color reader/writer way, thanks Karl)</li>
</ol></div><div><br></div><div>I tried doing this in the existing Etoys and it is possible, the problems (at least for me) are:</div><div><ol><li>You have to re-create the same basic script each time for each attribute and player, first time cool, after that, boring and tedious (well that&#39;s another enhancement request)</li>
<li>You can&#39;t pass an attribute in as a parameter to a script (this I think would solve the problem, and if I could pass more than one variable to a script, I could pass:</li><ol><li>player</li><li>numeric attribute</li>
<li>time</li><li>new value.</li></ol></ol></div></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Stephen</div>
