Component bucket variable

[Joris Illusions]

Hi,

Is there a variable that defines the length of the component bucket?
For now u can use CBnext and CBback to scroll through the component bucket, but I want to make a script that you can skip x positions.

Any ideas...

when u add ur componet bucket into the xml did u include

code:
leftmargin="0"

rightmargin="0"

because that it was controls the width from the x and y that u set. its pretty self excplanatory so i don't think i need to explain it

not sure if he wanted that Matt

he wants the length of the bucket list depending on how many available icons there are within the list and have a set width for each so he can either scroll exactly to the next/prev icon or a specific one, at least thats what i read from his post
the component bucket scrolls by pixel, is there not an xml field for scrolling to next/prev icon?

.....if not, I bet it wouldn't be to hard in maki. Though I still don't understand sh!t about maki.

SLoB is right about what I am looking for.

Still nobody has no idea how I could figure this out.

To make it more clear:

Normally you can scroll through the component bucket so that you could see 2 components (each for one half).
What I want to do is just skip to the next component, so you'll never see more than one component.

no, you cant...now, i havnt looked throught the new features of wasabi 1.0 (the version in wa5), but in wasabi.player, you cant do it...sorry

there is cb_prevpage & cb_nextpage, so it may work if you have a small width where one icon should display it should flick between them, this is seen in the options tab in rc10 but on a lot more available options.
will check to see if it works with just showing 1 icon, doh it doesnt quite work to the icon widths, would only be useful if you wanted to see more than 1 icon at a time.

perhaps for a future release it could be done per icon/set widths to allow for 1 icon to be shown at any one time & scrolling to next or prev icon?

There is a way. Make the thinger by your self. I made it once. You have to save all the icons in your skin and define then with maki how it shoud act. I made it once with scrolling from only one logo. With gototargetx();. Very cool but not usefull. Try it that way if you want.

[SLoB]

y thats one way but useless if you got custom thinger plugins that are added to the component list

ideally an index/array list would be good and we could get a count of the list and scroll thru to the appropriate index number
