Attaching and Modifying Scripts

Before previewing or exporting a schedule, you may want to view or change the script.

When you drag an element to attach it to a task in the Animation Producer dialog, a script is automatically attached to the task. You can view or change the script properties in the Storyboard Panel of the Animation Producer dialog. You need to change to the Timeline view (View menu) to display the Storyboard Panel. There are three types of scripts, which display in the Storyboard Panel: Transparency, Display (On-Off), and Color.

The Include Script tool is used to include an already created script to a task.

You cannot directly delete script entries that are created by linking elements/named groups to a task in a Schedule Panel. To delete these script entries, go to the tree pane view and delete the element/named group node.

Note: Do not use the Storyboard Panel to modify individual scripts that are created by linking elements to tasks. You can use the Schedule Panel to modify task properties, that is, you can change the time of the script by changing the time of the task to which the script entry belongs.
