Thread: Alphapad as POPUP for Album Browse..?

I should have been more clear... I mean an aplhapad like LS uses in LSX but is on the bottom of the AudioBrowser - or Astro uses in that skin. Essentially a keypad to narrow down your audio sort ABC DEF HIJ .... But execute as a PopupMenu vs within the skin page itslef, then get out of the way.

I am looking at the NUMOSK and other examples "similar" but wonder if this cant be done?

Sorry if the post was unclear....

Do those selections end up in neverland or can I do this in such a way so the AudioBrowser skin page will recieve those?

Sorry if this is stupid - I have the popup all working but did as a test and before I dive into this too much wanted to see if I was out of luck?

Thanks guys !!!

it can be done as a popup but you will need a button for all letters because you can not switch back to the popup where you left off.
Button would be "MENU;Audio_Browser.skin||SKIPTO;A"

Thx MGD, let me work from there --- I assumed from your Astro skin and LSX this was not an easy task or you guys would have done this. I am either going to do that or use another skin page to emulate the popup process.

Thanks for the response!!

MGS - I did not ask this earlier as I figured it would be an easy find... my bad. Do you have the coordinates syntax for MENU popup loads... or a post - example - i saw your one post with timouts syntax.

I will keep searching and know LS uses this in VOID so am looking there as well.

Thx - sorry

LS,

I actually am working from some of your work in LSX --- what I wanted to do to maximize usable screen and since I don't need this up all the time, a button or hotspot that will bring up a small SMS/ALPHAPAD as a popup to get me in the list where I need - then drop out. Also, by doing this I can use larger buttons and know they will get out of the way...

Any input would be appreciated ... I have a few workarounds to accomplish this but that is the reason I am doing this...

Thanks guys

are you trying to add the popup from the audio player or from the audio browser?

Like I sayed before, you can not use the SWITCHBUTTON command in a popup menu. You need to have a button for every letter in the popup to browse by alphabet.

? - I agree, coding it. Not disputing that at all and much thanks for the syntax. Helped me with exaclty what I needed.

Thx MGD
