unlock screen with visual effect ...

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Fred,

At some point in time, the syntax changed. The new syntax is

lock screen for visual effect
// do a bunch of stuff here
unlock screen with visual effect dissolve

Dissolve should work on any platform. Some effects only work on a 
specific platform. It is also possible that a combination of using an 
unstable version of LiveCode together with Mavericks breaks something. 
Make sure to use a GM release.

One of them is "unlock screen with visual dissolve.” How do you lock the screen, make a bunch of changes to the look of a card, and then unlock the screen with visual dissolve? I must be missing something really obvious. For example why doesn’t this work
