From: dparrott on 26 Jun 2008 16:06 I need to get the x/y coords of images in my file. I don't know why the Image Properties box does not appear, it only appears to images in a library, which have different x/y's. Any ideas?
From: Erik L. **Community Expert** on 26 Jun 2008 16:20 The property inspector is a finicky beast. If it's not appearing, select the image and press ctrl-i. If it is appearing but not updating, close it, then double-click the image. If it's still not appearing, it could be hiding offscreen? Regardless, Authorware's internal variables DisplayX and DisplayY will give you the x/y coords of any icon requested (i.e. DisplayX@"myIcon"), which is most easily referenced by embedding the variable on a display icon set to 'update displayed variables' (i.e. {DisplayX@"myIcon"}) Erik dparrott wrote: > I need to get the x/y coords of images in my file.

From: dparrott on 26 Jun 2008 16:58 It's not the Display Properties box that is the problem, it is the *Image* Properties box that is not appearing (where the options are to crop and scale an image). Is there some kind of report that can be generated that contains icon display properties?

Then double-click on an image in the display to open the image properties.

That is what I am doing. Nothing happens. It only works that way if the icon is in a library. I either need that to work, or to get the DisplayTop and DisplayLeft for each icon. |
