PowerApps Animation, Flashing Text, and Scrolling

In this video, you will learn about PowerApps animations, flashing text, and scrolling controls. And while it is done with some 90's flare all of the core concepts are there for you to make professional apps with nice notifications. I had to learn some new things, like ImageRotation, so hopefully, you do also.

I can't believe this video only got 8 thousands views so far! It is by far one of the most informative of your series. Thanks Shane!

Man, flashing button and scrolling text is so 90's! Old school!

Thank you Shane! As always, your tutorials are fun and easy to understand!
An easy solution to the right to left scrolling, and a way to calculate the width of the scrolling text in case that's dynamic (I pull my text from a SP list like an RSS feed.) :

1) ScrollingText X: |6 was your speed, the '-' makes it reverse direction
2) RunOnStart set a variable : Set(varScrollingTextLen, Len(ScrollingText.Text)); |Gets the length of your text
3) ScrollingText Width: varScrollingTextLen*11 |My font size is 18, and (*11) made the width include all text
4) TImer Duration: |6 was your speed

Hope this is useful to someone! My apologies if this was already answered!
Thanks again Shane!

Thank you, this is brilliant. Is there a way to move the scroll text towards left instead of right?

[hhmaster]

the best thing about learning from you is FUN. i was like LOL when first see the screen with silly moving objects, hahaha

Yasss thank you for the scrolling text demo

[peterstacho]

Hi Shane,
can you tell me please how to make the text go from right to left rather than in video from left to right? I need to get the text read from the first letter and not the last one, thank you. Your videos are fantastic and I always look forward to every new one.

great videos Shane, I am slowly working through them all. Quick question - can you use the Switch(true(), ...) trick to evaluate multiple different expressions in the same switch statement (this is something I do a lot in powerBI) thanks Mike

[Keyvan]

Nice. Thank you. It's reminded me the Macromedia Flash period:)

[shaleigh]

Great Video! Wondering if you know the code to make data card's height taller when there is more text and smaller when there isn't any text?

Hello Shane. Really cool. I encountered one problem tho, when I play the app and because the label is positioned out of the screen frame, the whole screen can be scrolled out of the screen frame. It is hard to explain, but basically I can scroll out of the screem frame because the label is positioned out of it and that is not a good performance. This happends in the same screen where I have a TextInput. I press the text input and this causes the screen to zoom in and let the user scroll the screen in all directions :(

Best regards.

Also, POP up messages by admin would be great. While the app is being in maintaining.

Hello Shane. I have been learning a lot from your videos! How do we reset the scroll once data on the cards inside the scrollable screen are submitted. I am able to clear the data entered into input fields but unable to reset the scroll position to start of the page. I am creating a custom canvas app and this has been a big limitation so far. Kindly help!!

Great job Shane! Please, make a video about PowerApps and barcode (using SPO List). Thanks!

[Shutyourjibbs]

Shane, could you do a video showing how to pull down the screen to refresh the data

[minhaja.]

Hello Shane!
How to scroll the text from right to left direction?
The way in which you scrolled the text, the last word is getting appeared first and the first word in the last (left to right movement)

Hi Shane ! Thank you for doing PowerApps videos, because of this I choose PowerApps as my Final Pitch as a Microsoft Apprentice. Do you have any videos on how to integrate GPS in PowerApps? and will give a notification if I am not in the right location when I sync. Thanks !

Had someone make animation changing between 2 images like news?

One image stays for 10 seconds and then change for another but moving the X while the time is changing?

[GG-uzus]

Love your videos. Can you do a video showing how to use Common Data Service with PowerApp?
