Explode (`xplo')

In an explode effect, source B grows from a single point expanding out until it entirely covers source A. The centre point of the explosion is defined in the effect parameters.

Example:

This effect takes a maximum of two sources, and has three parameters.

Description

Percentage

`pcnt'

Fixed

This parameter is a tween. QuickTime will render the frame of the effect indicated by the tween's current value, as a percentage of the whole effect. If the tween goes from 0 to 100, the effect renders completely. If the tween goes from 25 to 75, for example, rendering begins 25% into the effect and terminates 75% through the effect.

Explode Centre X

`xcnt'

Fixed

The x-coordinate of the explosion centre.

Explode Centre Y

`ycnt'

Fixed

The y-coordinate of the explosion centre.
