show

Type

command

Summary

Makes an object visible.

Syntax

show <object> [with visual [effect] <effectName> [<speed>] [to <finalImage>]]

Description

Use the show command to show invisible objects.

Showing an object sets its visible property to true. You can also set the showInvisibles property to true to override the visible property and show all objects.

You can show a card without causing a script error, but doing so has no effect.

Showing a group shows all the controls in the group whose visible property is true.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
object		Any open stack, or any control in an open stack.
effectName		The effectName, speed, and finalImage are described in the visual effect command. These three parameters operate the same way as they do with the visual effect command.
speed
finalImage

Examples

show stack "project1"

show image "picture" with visual effect "barn door open"
