SWF Problem Solved

if you want to embed as solely a swf you can now draw onto the background

the background is still transparent so you will need to have the background color of you skin .jpg set to the color you want in the background

this may be useful to some for skinning purposes for example see below

only draw back is you cant load draw ontop of gps or any other active text in rr

I forgot you will need this modified swf if you wish to do this as well

sweet, this works out good.

I must say though, is there anyway to bring back the old style menu on the bottom(post #39)? Right now its takeing up too much space. How many people are working on this? Every download seems like it has a different interface/layout, but with a different quirk. The reason i like it on the bottom is that it scales much better than on the side.

both myself and chuck are working on it
i can move the buttons if you like
are you looking to bundle it with the lsx skin
i can move the buttons for you give me the dimensions you want
(it might take a few days tho, im focusing on the vehicle maintenence program now)

YAY! It's working now, sort of. When I save #1 and go to #2 and save, #1 gets erased when I go back to it. Where are the drawings saved and what are their filenames supposed to be?

I also agree that the buttons take up a bit too much space. Left side buttons are ok for me but they could be squeezed over a bit and eliminate the blank dead space on the sides of them.

sweet, that sounds awesome. I do want to bundle it. I dont have any pixel dimension requirements. The way it looks in post 39 is fine with me.

if you wish to find the drawings they are not pixel based they are saved as vectorbased instuction sets telling flash what to draw

the saving format is userdrawing+n.sol
save in position one and search for userdrawing1.sol

.sol is a shared object in flash kind of like an internet cookie
the default location of the file will be C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\localhost\*file path where you put the file*

Hope this helps
