Flash Skin Tutorial?

thanks for that i understand now. Do custom commands work like this too... such as !iGNextTurnStreet. And do you have to have flash send the SETLABEL command to rr to make this work

fscommand("SETLABEL;!iGNextTurnStreet;Loading...") ;

I will have to look into it... I didn't even know that a !iGNextTurnStreet label existed? Is it from the iGMon stuff or something?

Anyhoo, to answer part of your question... Yes, the setlabel command can be sent like that but I'm not sure if it would make that iG stuff work. Here is an example of another working SETLABEL command:

fscommand("SETLABEL;CUSTOMLABEL;FALSE");

I think there's (or there was) some stupid issue with ! and flash.. so you'd have to use the word CUSTOM instead..

hi, i created a flash movie (honda logo), it has properties like mouse off, mouse over and mouse down. i named it logo.swf and put it in the alpine skin im using, it shows up and when i do a mouse over, it reacts and when i press the logo it also shows the mouse down function as its should. i was intending this to be a flash button. i went to skineditor thinking that i can use the button function to put an invisible button around the logo, so when i click the honda logo in the center, it will actually load an application, in my case obdii program. the problem is when i click on the flash logo, the button doesnt work, it will only activate once im out of the area of the flash logo, so i ended up clicking on an empty space. i want to click on the honda logo flash movie i created so i can have a mousedown effect and then launch the application. to summarize it up, how do i make a flash movie to act as a button on RR using skineditor or any method to launch my application, any ideas? thanks

just make the button within flash load the odbii program, ie. fscommand("RUN;C:\\myapp.exe");

/, F, x, y, w, h, Movie name
F01,226,091,348,214,"logo.swf"
fscommand("RUN;C:\Program Files\110 Enterprises Inc\Digimoto Lite\digimoto.exe");

what he's saying is you need to edit the swf movie itself. Add a button to the flash movie with the command
fscommand("RUN;C:\Program Files\110 Enterprises Inc\Digimoto Lite\digimoto.exe");

that will launch the program outside of a skin. If you need to launch it inside of a skin let me know and i'll change it

hi sonic, yes i am hoping to just launch the application inside the skin, i dont want to go back to flash to edit it. is there a way to run it inside the skin? thanks again

i'm pretty sure ur gonna have to go back into the flash and edit it. Only way i can see you not having to do that is to create a vb or autoit script that will run a rr command thru exec.exe to load your skin everytime that program is launched. That would end up bein more complicated than just editing the .fla or .swi.

The command to run it in your skin would be

fscommand("LOAD;digimoto.skin;Digimoto;C:\\Program Files\\110 Enterprises Inc\\Digimoto Lite\\digimoto.exe;Digimoto");

this is assuming you have a digimoto.skin made. If not substitute another generic skin. Also assumes Digimoto is the window name for the .exe. check winspector spy for this
