Just like MGD!

Never that. Im still having issues with those dynamic buttons and hadn't time to request help. Though i got most everything working alright, i can't seem to get the "LOAD" command to work. Any ideas?

In what context; what are you trying to do??

docbreezy · 07-10-2009, 08:36 PM

Like this

"BPICS","LOAD;Photo.skin;ImageViewer;Support\Image Viewer\ImageViewer.exe;ImageViewer",

if i run it from a aregular button, it works perfect, but if i run it using the dynamic buttons, no dice. Everything else that does not use the "LOAD" function works just fine. Im using the dynamic button method carputer1 lent me in post #52

EDIT: Never mind - it's ok according to skincommands.txt

image viewer is in the Support folder in the skin.

On a side note, for a while i've been saying this would look pretty good as a flash skin but lacked the flash programming know how. Well after reading pcpete's project, some of sonicxtacy's flash tutorial and countless hours of internet browsing and tutorials i've started to put something together. "Check out the attached swf". It is only the bottom part, and that in itself took me like 2 days (on and off, kids are a pain but i love it) to do and where i'm stuck is how to change the play button to pause. Let me know what you all think.

Me likey, you're skin in flash would be beautifull, let me know if I can help...

docbreezy · 07-13-2009, 05:05 PM

Lol.. wow you fast, i was just navigating over to your flashflex page to put up a link and ask for some assistance but my little email notification came up saying i have a reply. Anyway, like i said, your flashflex project and sonics tutorial were the inspiration to go ahead and start on this. I wanted to use your flash objects but the individual buttons wouldn't work for me plus i wanted my own texture and all that. for now all you see there is imaging and effects, i haven't dove into much of the scripting in order to use the various filters so its kinda limiting, to tell you the truth i just get bored of reading all those tutorials ( imma do until i get it right kind of person rather than a read and then do it right kind.) all that boils down to is for now, in order to finish the bottom bar, how can change the play to pause and vice versa?

Looking good man, its a nice subtle effect, most of the time those are the best

Can you release your latest one with the dynamic buttons so we can play with it before you move to another project

BTW - Nice animation in the flash version. Speaker icons look weird tho'

typing in my car, so i've gotta be short, you need a script to react to the play status indicator, mine makes certain colour and icons visible or not...i can post some sample code later tonight...I do almost everything in script, i'm not good at the animation stuff

Here is what i have so far for the dynamic button version. Pls pay attention to the Please Read Me file to set correct paths as i just pull this out of my skins folder and didn't clean it up.

I didn't mean to stray from current business, i have a little bit of attention deficit lol. But no fear i have to get this skin done and stable before i turn it to flash.
P.S. i know the Volume buttons are different but again i wanted icons of my own and that is what i came up with thus far.
