Subject: splash screen animation
This message is mainly for Corey.
I was thinking this morning that perhaps the reason the animation was
so hard is that you are using the wrong set of data.
What if you did the following: Instead of two lists of numbers 1 to m
and 1 to n (for the two sequences) in two list variables, you put
the full variable names in the list. In the cycle procedure, you
pull out a variable name, see what its initial letter is, and then
stuff it into the proper label based in its initial letter.
You have only one variable storing the list; you have only one cycle.
What do you think? This seems like part of the solution to the problem
is finding a way to reduce its complexity. If this solution worked, you
could easily extending to more than two animations if you matched the
label window paths to the list elements prefixes.
