Thread: Can't autorun command in skin file

Yep, could use the

"ONSCREENCHANGE","LIST||SEARCHFILES;folder.jpg",xx .skin (skinfile name on then end)

will only run after that screen is loaded, everytime.

Thx guys, will give them a try ...

OK, got this to work by putting it in exectbl.ini..

"ONSCREENCHANGE","SEARCHFILES;folder.jpg",covers.s kin

Now I'm having another issue...The larger picture is I want to import a list of folder.jpg paths into flash. I've got it somewhat working using CUSTOMDL.

Originally I issued the searchfiles command from flash ,like this...

fscommand("SEARCHFILES;folder.jpg");
//fscommand("WAITEXEC");
fscommand("GETDL","");

This gets me what I want into flash....but I'm having a timing issue though, flash continues executing commands while the search is going on, as you can see I tried the "WAITEXEC" command, but that hangs the screen skin.

Thats why I was hoping to run the search in RR, do a WAIT;5 then load the swf.

The 5 second delay doesn't happen, the swf loads up right away...is this broken?

I know the search is working and CUSTOMDL does get the populated with the paths...I have a button in my swf that also issues fscommand("GETDL","").

On another note , why is GETDL needed? all my other lables auto update.

Thx for any help or suggestions..

You can create a check loop in flash with a variable that RR sets to acheive what you are looking for

change RR's command to

fscommand("SEARCHFILES;folder.jpg");
//fscommand("WAITEXEC");
fscommand("GETDL","");
fscommand("SETFLASHVAR;COMMANDCOMPLETE;TRUE")


then check for _root.COMMANDCOMPLETE. If true then perform your flash stuff... then set _root.COMMANDCOMPLETE to false.

Thx Sonic, will give this a shot and report back....
