I was looking at the storyboard api and was wondering if the “reveal” feature was going to be added soon or at all. A user named the transition, but it was basically a modified “from” transition where the previous scene moved off screen to show the new scene below.

Isn’t that the same as the “from” transitions already provided? If not please elaborate on your request. [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 26864 reply_id: 109073[/import]
From transitions create a new scene off screen and move them on screen “from” the their initial direction. Reveal was more of a “to” transition. The new scene is created behind the previous scene and then the previous scene is moved “to” the direction mentioned, allowing the new scene to be revealed.
To make it clearer, the new scene is not moved with this transition. The previous screen is move instead. The problem with adding this type of transition is that you need to be able to make the next screen below the previous screen.
This is a very important feature for me because it would look great to see a scene move over my main scene and then slide off again. I could code this as an overlay and then transition it myself, but this would be so much easier if it were built into the system. My way would only work as a back button, but not as well as an actual transition. I asked about it because it seemed that it was something that the community was interested in and when it was brought up the discussion became so active that it got the message board closed for going so far off topic.

I understand, this is a good idea. [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 26864 reply_id: 109217[/import]
Like I said, I can not take credit for it. I saw it in the comments of the documentation. I just wanted to know if anything like this is in development and I am now assuming it is not. I just did not want to go through all the work of modifying the director class only to find it popup two or three weeks later in storyboard.

Jon and I are discussing it so it might be implemented soon. I will update this thread when we have made a concrete decision

Thanks you. I am looking foreword to hearing the outcome of your decision; even if you decide against it. It is really helpful to know what is going on when I am planning out my interfaces. [import]uid: 38614 topic_id: 26864 reply_id: 109446[/import]
