Expanding Images

[Fuzzybat23]

In a nutshell, I'm trying to animate a png so that it grows in height. Here's the code snippet.

Code: Select all

[App_Grow]
Measure=Calc
Formula=App_Grow + 1
IfEqualValue=40
IfEqualAction=[!DisableMeasure App_Grow][!HideMeter App_Bar_Grow][!ShowMeter App_Bar]
Disabled=1

[App_Bar]
Meter=Image
ImageName=Graphics/App Bar.png
x=0
y=200
w=20
h=40
LeftMouseUpAction=[!EnableMeasure App_Grow][!HideMeter App_Bar][!ShowMeter App_Bar_Grow]

[App_Bar_Grow]
Meter=Image
ImageName=Graphics/App Bar.png
x=0
y=200
w=20
h=[App_Grow]
DynamicVariables=1
Hidden=1

It's just a test script. Click the image, the image dissapears and the main animation measure and image are both activated. The measure counts from 0 to 40. If it were a sequence of images, of course I'd use App Bar[App_Grow].png, but I'm trying to do this with one image so instead I put the measure call in the height field: h=[App_Grow]
All it does is make the image dissapear, delays for however long 40 ticks with (update set to 50) is, then display the image again. No animation of the image expanding from a thin line to the full image. I'd love some insight into this, thanks!
