Global Int attribs_mychange

[The Cool Dude]

why does is the line Global Int attribs_mychange; in attribs.m? what does it do?

whell when you wanna set some attrib value you'll do like this:

att.onDataChanged()
{
if (attribs_mychange) return;
attribs_mychange = 1;
someAttribute.setData("0");
attribs_mychange = 0;
}

someAttribute.onDataChanged()
{
if (attribs_mychange) return;
attribs_mychange = 1;
att.setData("0");
attribs_mychange = 0;
}

as you see, in att.onDataChanged(), is set value for someAttribute, but before that attribs_mychange flag is set to 1, attribs_mychange is used becouse in someAttribute.onDataChanged() there is line:

att.setData("0");

which will returns us to att.onDataChaged() and it will loop for ever (well, not forever, soon winamp is crashed :D)
and thats way attribs_mychange flag is used, as you see first line in both events is:

if (attribs_mychange) return;

so, lines after this one are executed ONLY if attribs_mychange is set to 0 (false) thats mean when user clicks on menu or button with that cfgattrib is toggled...

but then all attribs wont work after that.

[krckoorascic]

what you mean?

[The Cool Dude]

attribs_mychange will be 1 so none of the attribs will work after that unless the skin is refreshed.

[The Cool Dude]

attribs_mychange will be 1 so none of the attribs will work after that unless the skin is refreshed.

noup,
you see attribs_mychange = 0; ? that resets flag to false.
you MUST reset flag when you finished changing data or non of attribs wont work
