visualvisual [effect] effect [speed] ¬ [to image]
The visual command specifies a visual effect for HyperCard to use as it moves from one card to another. (Click the placeholders effect, speed, and image to see their possible replacements.) Visual must be followed by a go command to have any effect. The optional speed parameter tells HyperCard to perform the visual effect faster or slower than normal. The to image option changes the screen to white, gray, black, inverse, or the image of the destination card before applying the visual effect. HyperCard uses the visual effect plain as its default effect. The default image is card. Note: Only the effects push, scroll, shrink, stretch, and zoom work with the command go this card. Examplesvisual zoom open visual effect zoom open visual effect zoom open fast visual effect zoom open to black visual effect zoom open very fast to black
