    Odometer tutorial

    Posted by Maggie Hoppe on March 7, 2008 at 2:45 am

    Aharon’s and Dan Ebberts tutorials on creating an odometer are spot on helpful. Thanks.

    But I wish I could figure out the expression Aharon hinted about in the tutorial that would force the numbers to hold position until the ‘ones’ column activates the ‘tens’ column to increment after scrolling from 0 -9. That was a good teaser to see it happen during the tutorial, but then getting stuck on how to do it brings me to this post.
    Help anyone?

    Thanks,
    maggie

    I believe Aharon made the presets available for the odometer changes in the project files for part 3 of his Odometer tutorial

    Hope that solves your problem

    The project files do NOT include the extra special expression for “stopping” -when scrolling from-0 to 9-then incrementing to the next tens, which is what I am looking for help on.

    Thanks though.

    Did you ever find the expressions/aep file he was referring to? I am also interested in learning how to dow this and pause the last number before turning over – thanks

    Anyone find an answer to this? My odometer won’t stop otherwise!
