On a screen using the facadeview, say myVideoTitle, if you set up an animaiton and conditional visibility on an item linked to the selected item in teh facadeview then it will not fire when you enter the screen or return to the screen from an F9 IMDB screen. I belive this is to do with the order in which the page renders and sets the the focus statuses in relation to the currently selected facadeview item.

Also it makes no different where in the xml you put the facadeview control.

This xml will render a screen cover and animated on screen load + when focus moves away from the facadeview and will demonstrate when the animation does not fire.

<control>
<description>Selected item Label</description>
<type>fadelabel</type>
<id>51</id>
<posX>40</posX>
<posY>132</posY>
<width>260</width>
<label>#title</label>
<font>font18</font>
<align>center</align>
<textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor>
<visible>facadeview.list+Control.HasFocus(50)</visible>
<animation effect="slide" time="450" start="-300,0" reversible="false">visible</animation>
<animation effect="fade" time="250">WindowOpen</animation>
<animation effect="fade" time="250">WindowClose</animation>
</control>
<control>

F9 is activating an dialog window, which is nothing else then a overlay. Which means that we are not leaving the original window (in which we pressed the F9 button). You always can see the original window faded in the background. If you want some animations then a new trigger has to be implemented like "DialogOpen", "DialogClose". I will have a look at the code over the weekend if this is possible

OK, sorry but all other items on the page do animated at this time, just those linked to the facadeview do not. Also the F9 thing was just an example, it also happens on a window open (so the first time you go to the myVideos page).

Also when F9 is pressed then focus is taken away from the facadeview 50 so this animation should trigger as it does for all other none facade related items

<animation effect="slide" time="450" start="-300,0" reversible="false">visible</animation>
