Steve S Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 is there a way to make a font blink in filemaker? or a trick to make it seem to? I have a check. If field A is empty then field B says "Open". I also have a check that if the record is over a week old and field A is empty, field B says "Open" in red. I'd rather something far more annoying. like blinking. Is this possible? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWeaver Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 No, you can't make text blink. Thank God! If you want to annoy the user, create a container field and put in an mp3 of Willie Nelson. Play that when the above conditions are not met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughan Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Bob, I can't believe you're giving people such bad advice. The quality of your posts has in the past been a benchmark for me and I'm sure for other people as well, but quite frankly I've been really disappointed by obvious lack of understanding that this answer displays. John Denver is *much* more annoying than Willie Nelson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I don't think it's fair of you guys to criticise the music of these dead musicians! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldebondt Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Willie's dead!!! The Texas flag will forever fly at half-staff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted S Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 You didn't hear that Willie Nelson had died! Yeah, he was hit by a car last year when he was playing on-the-road-again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWeaver Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I get the feeling you guys think I was kidding or something. I'll have you know I was completely serious. Sorry Vaughan, you're absolutely right; John Denver would be more suitable. Or, maybe Rolf Harris and Tie me kangaroo down sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 "Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred..." yes indeed, and his "wobble board" solo. I know you were serious, that's what has got me worried. I'm pleased that nobody has suggested a looped script that changes layouts or something to give a blink effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sxeptomaniac Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 You know, a bad midi version of a song would be at least ten times as annoying as any mp3. I'll lay odds there's at least one website out there where John Denver's entire body of work can be found in midi form. They probably even play a random song when you open the site without any controls to shut it off, too. (I won't look for it, though... You can't make me look for it! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
