Folks,

It is with immense happiness that I announce a new plugin called
AAG|LayerComps. For those that know Adobe Photoshop, this is a recreation of
its Layer Comps palette for LiveCode. It allows you to record the visibility
and rects of controls in a given card and switch between those recorded
states (layer comps, aka, layer compositions). Basically it allows you to
layout your stack, press a button to save, change the layout, save it again,
and then switch between those states (or more).

I made a web page and some videos available here:

You can use that for many things, but the most obvious usage scenarios are:

  *  Create different prototype layouts to show to a client or friend and
switch between then easily.
  *  Create different layouts for the different mobile resolutions and
switch between them as needed.
  *  Create complex interfaces where you reveal or hide parts of it without
changing cards. For example: hiding and revealing different sidebars and
inspectors.

The different recorded states can be activated using the plugin or by code
if you start using LibLayerComps stack. The plugin can copy this library
stack into your topstack if you want.

This plugin is my first commercial plugin priced at USD 30.

It is really useful for those doing mobile, revlets or complex interfaces.

Hope you guys like it

Andre Alves Garzia
