There are many ways to do this.

The easiest is to make the calendar/clock object a contained child of the sliding/shrinking object. To obtain the same animation effect you then need to set up calculations in the script. For a simple solution you might want to use a timer to fade the calendar/clock to transparent when you slide up or shink then fade in to full opacity when sliding down or growing.

hi, thank you for the information. I am still very new at this so what you said seems quite easy but i will have to do some more searching to understand how to use a timer and then fade. If you could point me to a place that explains this, it would be nice. I'll keep searching and keep trying because that is how you learn.

If you look at the GAL-CIV II Widgets there are ones in there that fade and slide and more, i would look at how those are done, or email me and ill see what needs fixed.
