2.9 equivalent of screenApiColor

Post by nms » Fri Oct 13, 2017 2:42 am

Hello,

Today I've upgraded from 2.8.10546 Release to 2.9.20040 Public Release, as mentioned in Usability and Features document “ScreenProcess” and global video actions aren't working so I've deleted those from my configuration.

However, screenApiColor function, which I use to change text widget colors in my script is also removed. What would be the best practice that would replace this function?

Thanks in advance,

Mert

Screen->AnimateColor is the way to change colors of screen objects dynamically. AnimateColor can be fired from an Event and also called by a script.

The Screen->Process is not required for the new M2 processor displays.
