maximum component position

[mwheen]

Hi,

I have a symbol component that I am moving across the screen based on

component.componentname.MoveTo (channel input). I would like to restrict the the maximum and minimum x and y component for the symbol so that it does not move off the screen (out of sight). Any help would be much appreciated.

cheers mark

Do it in script. Probably the easiest thing to do is create a function to move a component and put the restrictions there. Something like:

function MoveTo(string name, x, y)
   if ((x < 0) || (y < 0) || (x > 2000) || (y > 2000))
	  ? "Invalid"
	  return
   endif
   execute("component." + name + ".moveTo(" + x + "," + y + ")")

Change the 2000's to whatever upper limits you want. Put this in a new sequence called "MoveTo". To use, simply call it as such:

MoveTo("componentName", 50, 60)
