Dialog Transition - Cut off point

[HazJ 1288]

Hi all,

I have started to make a simple dialog transition, have done a few in the past with no issues. I am looking to create some kind of cut off point (not sure what to call it exactly). Similar to how the text scrolls across on the BIS AAN news function. That uses the edge of the screen though. I want to create the cut off at the end of the background control. I don't want to use a set value either if possible. I don't want the whole thing to fade off all at once, only parts that reach the edge of the background control. I'm thinking some kind of invisible control outside the background control (on each side - left/right) which has some higher priority over everything else, thus making it appear to be invisible... Not sure how to do this exactly though.

EDIT: Resolved! There is no possible fix for the map control it seems, look at the video. Watch it in slow mo for the best effect lol.

I tried. Not sure if it's what you want exactly. Hopefully it helps.

No? Thanks anyway. By the way, you replied after I edited it with status resolved. Look at the second video.
