Text message problem

[Marco]

Is there any way to remove the black box messages are written in (thus allows writing directly on background picture image) ?
In the Help Document it is referred to messageobject but is explained only how to change font type, font size and font color.

Thanks.

There is no possibility to my knowledge to make the background of the textbox transparent, but there is a workaround:

Right-click on the screen to create a text on the screen at the place you wish.

In the Frame Properties add:

Code: Select all

Text(1).Caption = "This is my text"

For multiple lines, use this:

Code: Select all

Text(1).Caption = "This is the first line" + VBCRLF + "This is the second line"

In case you want text appear after the player clicks a specific hotspot, and not from the beginning when the frame is loaded, then In the Frame Properties add:

Code: Select all

Text(1).Caption=""

In the Hotspot Properties add:

Code: Select all

Text(1).caption= "This is my text."

The text features can be also manipulated (color, font etc.), e.g.

Code: Select all

Text(1).Forecolor=RGB(255,255,255)

To make the text disappear again, use a timed event, e.g.

Code: Select all

Action.CreateTimedEvent 6, "Text(1).Caption = """""

Please post if anything is unclear, or if you have more questions to this.

Hi there!~ Welcome to the Forums

There is a Custom Message plugin..that will allow you to customize the message box...
This way if u want..u can change the background..but it does remain..But you can make it look like this perhaps..
Take a look at the pictures..in the first post..They are ideas I had to customize the background..for the messages.

Here is a plugin pack..which contains quite a few plugins..You can then decide which u want to enable in the Project's Properties~

Its not what you are looking for..but just an idea for future reference.. The actual Text on the frame..is the best approach~
