VB Scripting Basics

[Dom]

Please could someone help me with the code to make a button that only produces an action whilst the button is being pressed?

I have made custom buttons that will toggle, pressing once to turn on an output and a second time to turn off an output but what I really need a button that works like the jog buttons and will only enable an output whilst it is pressed and turns off the output the moment the button is released.

Thats easy to do when making your screen in flash. Dont know if can be done with traditional screens

on (press) {
   fscommand ("VBMacro","Button down script");
}``

on (release)`{
   fscommand ("VBMacro","Button release script");
}

What screen/screen designer are you using?
If you are not using a custom screen maybe you can modify the flash mach nation to fix your needs

I'm using the standard mach3 screen, modified with a few extra buttons i've added using the reccomended machscreen screen designer program. I wouldnt know where to begin with flash!

You can set up a simple BRAIN that monitors the DO button AND

If it is ON then produce and action

IF it is OFF then cancell the action

Hope that helps
