Enables or disables animations while a script is running.
Format
Set Script Animation [<on or off>]
Options
• On enables animations while a script is running.
• Off disables animations while a script is running.
Compatibility
Originated in

Description
Enabling animations increases the time required for a script to run. Disabling animations overrides
any animation settings for other script steps. This script step affects all script-initiated animations in
all windows.
Notes
• This script step is not supported on Windows.
• Set Script Animation does not return an error when it runs in a FileMaker product in which it
is not supported.
Example 1
While a script is running, animations are typically disabled. If a script causes a slide control to switch
between panels, there will be no animation providing feedback to users. To call attention to the
transition from panel to panel, use
Set Script Animation [On] to enable animation prior to
switching between slide panels using the
Go to Object script step.
Set Script Animation [On]
Go to Object [Object Name: "Panel 1"]
Pause/Resume Script [Duration (seconds): .5]
Go to Object [Object Name: "Panel 2"]
