Cant see what you want to do but I can tell you that to change a layer or a image in a button you do this:

PHP Code:

mylayer.setXmlParam("image", "bitmapid");
mybutton.setXmlParam("hoverimage", "bitmapid"); 


If you do this:

PHP Code:

idummy=allmypains.findObject("inforeground");
partone=allmypains.findObject("bgone");
idummy = partone; //set first layer to foreground 


You basically just did this:

PHP Code:

idummy=allmypains.findObject("bgone"); 


The button wont change to the other button. idummy & partone just points to your xml button. Like a address where to find them.

Hope this helps

i am trying to use the buttons to set layers 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 to the inforeground layer

idummy = partone
is where I am doingwrong. I want the inforeground layer to change to the link in layer bgone


by the way is there a way to animate the layers using buttons to activate it, if they are placed in the same image file. i saw it in the post called MAKI Cheats that it's possible but I don't uderstand it.

Here is what I'll do if I understand you right:

Xml:

PHP Code:

<button id="mybutton" x="0" y="0" w="100" h="100" rectrgn="1"/>
<layer id="mylayer" x="0" y="0" w="100" h="100" ghost="1"/> 


Script:

PHP Code:

mybutton.onEnterArea(int x, int y){ 
    mylayer.setXmlParam("image", "mybitmapelement.1");
}
mybutton.onLeaveArea(int x, int y){
    mylayer.setXmlParam("image", "mybitmapelement.2");
} 


Only example


As for the animation:

PHP Code:

<AnimatedLayer
    id="eq.mode.ani.0"
    x="7" y="38" w="17" h="8" 
    image="eq.mode.ani.0"
    autoplay="0" autoreplay="1"
/> 


Look in the SCWiki for the full info on the above object:
http://wiki.skinconsortium.com/index...tedlayer.2F.3E
But had a quick look at the bitmap used there... You only need one bitmap... if the AnimatedLayer is 50pixels high... then your image you use there should also be: no. frames x 50... Like this:
..\Winamp\Skins\Big Bento\window\beatvis.png

And in std.mi you'll find lots of functions for AnimatedLayer... just search for it

PHP Code:

        painloop=allmypains.findObject("bgloopbutton");    //get loop button

    idummy.setXmlParam("image",  "player.background.one" );  //set first layer to foreground
    //tempdummy = partone;   //tempdummy get value since idummy will change value
} 


the skin works uptill here but the rest doesn't work but compiles ok. Is there a way to get the layerimage to show on top of all other layers for oh hover?

PHP Code:

//-----------------------------------------------------
onepain.onLeftButtonUp(int x, int y){         // buttons1 onclick
    idummy.setXmlParam("image", "player.background.one" ); 
}
onepain.onEnterArea(){             
    idummy.setXmlParam("image", "player.background.one" ); 
}
onepain.onLeaveArea(){
    idummy.setXmlParam("image", "player.background.one" ); 
}
//-----------------------------------------------------
twopain.onLeftButtonUp(int x, int y){         // buttons2 onclick
    idummy.setXmlParam("image", "player.background.two" ); 
}
twopain.onEnterArea(){             
    idummy.setXmlParam("image", "player.background.two" ); 
}
twopain.onLeaveArea(){
    idummy.setXmlParam("image", "player.background.one" ); 
}
//-----------------------------------------------------
threepain.onLeftButtonUp(int x, int y){         // buttons3 onclick
    idummy.setXmlParam("image", "player.background.three" ); 
}
threepain.onEnterArea(){             
    idummy.setXmlParam("image", "player.background.three" ); 
}
threepain.onLeaveArea(){
    idummy.setXmlParam("image", "player.background.one" ); 
}
//-----------------------------------------------------
fourpain.onLeftButtonUp(int x, int y){         // buttons4 onclick
    idummy.setXmlParam("image", "player.background.four" ); 
}
fourpain.onEnterArea(){             
    idummy.setXmlParam("image", "player.background.four" ); 
}
fourpain.onLeaveArea(){
    idummy.setXmlParam("image", "player.background.one" ); 
}

hmm, thats just nasty

why don't you try using a xui button, that way you only need to do one lot of code for x amount of buttons

[pjn123]

Attach the skin... will be easier to take a look then

I wish I know how to do it but I am a beginner at this. i'll see what can I do with the attachnment of the skin. I can't go online often.

[SLoB]

check some of the recent sc skins, some of them have xui buttons where u can nab the code from
u have 1 xui button, do/have all the maki code for it and then just put an instance in of it in the xml file as needed, once u get your head round it, they are simple objects but powerful and will help to reduce code and maintenance

[fuyou]

here's the link just click on download the zip will popup

please take a look at the scripts/m maki files first I don't maybe it's the skins I dl from the net but it seems to make winamp disfunctional.

btw. I searched for xui but nothing helpful came up.

[pjn123]

Ok fuyou

Did this:
- Started the maki from scratch
- Used only one layer
- Moved the script out of the button group to the top group (player.xml)
-added the loop & change on hover

Tell me if this is what you want. Just replace all the stuff with this stuff in the attachment

Think you will understand maki a little better after you look at the new code

EDIT: Forgot to tell you what your MAIN problem was:
- The script was placed in the buttons group and not in the top group... this meens that your script found the buttons but couldn't find the layers. I moved the script to player.xml so that it can 'see' everything.

A big thanks for helping. I'll try it.
