Examples

This code would go in a Timer's propertyChange script for animation.

if event.propertyName == "value":

   newX = event.newValue;

   newWidth = int(event.newValue*1.5)

   rect = event.source.parent.getComponent("Rectangle")

   system.gui.reshapeComponent(rect, newX, 150, newWidth, 80)
