sliding over empty container

#1

It seems that in FMP7 an empty container will not cause anything to
slide over it.

This is a pain for me. I guess there is no workround, but is there a
third party plug in that allows sliding over empty containers or gives
another way of achieving the same end?

thanks

I don't know what you mean exactly, but in a database with containers
to fill with pictures in future. First I fill all records with a
"blank" picture automatically with a script. E.g. 1000 little pictures
to 1000 records. Afterwards just I change the "blank" pictures by real
pictures with the same file-name.

What I meant was, if a container is empty I want it to shrink to take *no*

space, so the fields below move up over the empty container field. FMP
does this fine with non-container fields. But it doesn't work with
containers. I can't imagine that there is a work-round, but maybe there
is a third paty plugin that helps?

thanks

The graphic format of your field should be set to 'crop image left top'
for the field to slide properly.
