did you setup all your buttons correctly? sounds like you didn't.. post your skn file and I can look at it.
I am making my first skin.
The problem that I am having is that when I click on a button, the screen flashes and media engine is caught in a loop. I have to kill it in task manager. When I try to play an MP3, it loops the first second or two of the song as well as the screen.
Any help would be appreciated.
O yeah, here is what the skin looks like.
Dont laugh, I have NO experience with creating graphics...
Edit: Sorry i didnt know the picture would be that big.

try to make it totally scrollable. I think what you are doing for is a way to not go down anymore. I usually cycle back up to the top icon. Give it a try..
Also i noticed.

Thanks for all the help.
I did what you suggested and tried to use another skin as a base for the code. It worked. I can now watch movies and listen to mp3 without the loop.
But, I am missing all the control buttons. Like the up, down, next track, volume and so forth....
I copied all the graphics from another skin that was relative to the buttons but still done have them.
I am uploading the skin as it is now and hope that its helps someone turn on the light bulb in my head. I had to split it into 2 zips due to size.
Thanks again for the help..
Here is my second stab at a background.
The other was a little too plain.
Let me know what you think...
I have attached a skn file that will work.
The skin maker is still very buggy and even if the fonts seemed set.. you have to go through and set them all.

I tried your file and just changed the image names to mine. It didnt work. I dont have the loop problem anymore but I have missing buttons on the play screens.
Maybe I should ask a different question.
What other image files need to be in the skin directory for navigation?
Meaning, you have to specify the main buttons and background image in the skin creator. But, where do you specify the fast forward, track forward, volume, up/down scroll buttons and so forth?
Those are the buttons that I am missing.
I have copied the images from another skin but they dont show up on mine...
Thanks again...
yes i noticed the missing buttons.
load up your skin in the skin builder and then
right click -> skin setup (its the second option) -> icon setup
you want to make sure all of those are checked. If not you don't have an icon setup for that function.. ie play
