one button for zoom level?

[Lee]

Hi,

I wanted to create a single button that toggles between the 75% and 100% zoom level values (I'm working on a Mac w/ FMP 5.0). I know that in both the Specify Button function and Scriptmaker, you can select the "Set Zoom Level" command and specify what zoom level you want the button or script to give you. But I couldn't find anything that would let you click the button once to reduce the document and then click it again to enlarge it back to 100%. I tried making up a script but up till now I've only done very basic scripts. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Lee

To get a little technical, what you are describing is a simple state machine. A mechanism where the output depends upon the input and the present state. To know the present state...

Create a field:

gZoomLevel (global, number)

Create a script:

If ( IsEmpty(gZoomLevel) or gZoomLevel = 75)

Set Zoom Level (100%)

SetField(gZoomLevel, 100)

Else

Set Zoom Level (75%)

SetField(gZoomLevel, 75)

End If
