To create multiple columns, you will need to add additional bounding boxes inside “01 – boundingbox”. The second box must be called “boundbox2”, the third “boundbox3” etc. When this is done, the columns must be placed inside the appropriate box and the first four variables in frame 2 inside the columns changed according to the number of the box, starting number, ending number and number of objects. For example the second column (inside box no. 2) should have the column number 2 (if it was 1, then the objects would be scaled and given an alpha value, if the mouse was located inside box 1). The scale amount and alpha value could be specific to each column; you would only have to change the maximum, minimum and dividend in “scaleAmount” and “alphaAmount”.
